1
00:00:34,909 --> 00:00:39,250
<i>I was bruised and battered
I couldn't tell what I felt</i>

2
00:00:39,251 --> 00:00:43,149
<i>I was unrecognizable to myself</i>

3
00:00:43,953 --> 00:00:46,887
<i>Saw my reflection in a window</i>

4
00:00:46,888 --> 00:00:49,178
<i>And didn't know my own face</i>

5
00:00:49,178 --> 00:00:52,193
<i>So, brother, I'm gonna leave</i>

6
00:00:52,194 --> 00:00:57,418
<i>Wastin' away on the streets
of Philadelphia</i>

7
00:01:13,616 --> 00:01:14,902
This one?

8
00:01:14,903 --> 00:01:19,042
<i>I walked the avenue
till my legs felt like stone</i>

9
00:01:19,043 --> 00:01:22,660
<i>I heard voices of friends
vanished and gone</i>

10
00:01:23,745 --> 00:01:28,488
<i>At night I hear the blood
in my veins</i>

11
00:01:29,412 --> 00:01:33,110
<i>Just as black and whispery
as the rain</i>

12
00:01:33,111 --> 00:01:36,245
<i>On the streets of Philadelphia</i>

13
00:01:55,217 --> 00:01:58,432
<i>Ain't no angel gonna greet me</i>

14
00:01:59,236 --> 00:02:03,376
<i>It's just you and I
my friend</i>

15
00:02:04,984 --> 00:02:08,400
<i>And my clothes don't fit me no more</i>

16
00:02:08,401 --> 00:02:13,826
<i>I walked a thousand miles
just to slip this skin</i>

17
00:02:17,323 --> 00:02:20,941
<i>Night has fallen
I'm lyin' awake</i>

18
00:02:20,942 --> 00:02:24,960
<i>I can feel myself fadin' away</i>

19
00:02:25,885 --> 00:02:30,386
<i>So, will you receive me, brother
with your faithless kiss</i>

20
00:02:30,387 --> 00:02:34,727
<i>Or will we leave each other
alone like this</i>

21
00:02:34,728 --> 00:02:38,224
<i>On the streets of Philadelphia</i>

22
00:03:17,855 --> 00:03:22,879
<i>This "pestilent dust"counselor refers
to has appeared on only three occasions. </i>

23
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,778
Each time it was tested,
and the results: Limestone.

24
00:03:26,779 --> 00:03:28,708
It's messy, but innocuous.

25
00:03:31,803 --> 00:03:34,938
- "Innocuous"?
- Defined by Webster's as harmless.

26
00:03:34,938 --> 00:03:38,434
I know what it means.
May I? Thank you.

27
00:03:38,436 --> 00:03:39,761
Your Honor...

28
00:03:43,861 --> 00:03:47,277
imagine how the children in this
neighborhood are being made to feel.

29
00:03:47,278 --> 00:03:51,297
The constant pounding of construction
ringing in their ears...

30
00:03:51,297 --> 00:03:54,713
as this skyscraper...
a tribute to mankind's greed...

31
00:03:54,714 --> 00:03:58,732
grows daily, casting an ominous shadow
over their lives...

32
00:03:58,733 --> 00:04:02,149
filling them with dread even as
they are surrounded by this toxic dust.

33
00:04:02,953 --> 00:04:05,485
Your Honor, Kendall Construction...

34
00:04:05,486 --> 00:04:09,102
builds neighborhoods,
it doesn't destroy them.

35
00:04:09,103 --> 00:04:12,117
Granting a restraining order against
this construction site will...

36
00:04:12,117 --> 00:04:14,810
throw 753 Philadelphians
out of work...

37
00:04:14,810 --> 00:04:18,950
and lend validation to this contemptible
and groundless nuisance suit.

38
00:04:18,951 --> 00:04:20,960
It's an example
of the rapacious litigation...

39
00:04:20,961 --> 00:04:23,854
that today is tearing
at the very fabric of our society.

40
00:04:23,855 --> 00:04:26,466
Let's not go off the deep end,
gentlemen.

41
00:04:26,466 --> 00:04:30,606
You've made an articulate and
compelling presentation, Mr. Miller...

42
00:04:30,607 --> 00:04:32,817
but I don't believe
you've proven irreparable harm.

43
00:04:32,818 --> 00:04:34,023
Not yet, Your Honor.

44
00:04:44,996 --> 00:04:46,885
Proper use of trade name without...

45
00:04:52,431 --> 00:04:54,521
- Is that you?
- Yeah, that's me.

46
00:04:54,521 --> 00:04:56,049
Miller.

47
00:04:56,049 --> 00:04:58,059
Yes. Hello, Iris.

48
00:04:58,059 --> 00:05:00,551
Client of yours?

49
00:05:00,552 --> 00:05:03,364
Funny. Hold on, Iris.
Excuse me, sir?

50
00:05:32,022 --> 00:05:35,037
My sons and I went
to a restaurant the other day.

51
00:05:35,038 --> 00:05:36,725
We ordered coffee.

52
00:05:36,846 --> 00:05:38,252
The waiter goes...

53
00:05:38,252 --> 00:05:41,347
"Would you like sugar
or Sweet 'n' Low?"

54
00:05:42,272 --> 00:05:45,367
I said,
"Do I look like I should be on a diet?"

55
00:05:46,291 --> 00:05:48,703
Oh, God,
sometimes I just feel so sorry...

56
00:05:48,703 --> 00:05:51,717
- Andy.
- Hi, Doc.

57
00:05:51,718 --> 00:05:53,606
Your blood work came back this morning.

58
00:05:53,607 --> 00:05:55,616
I'm gonna come back in a few minutes
and talk to you about it.

59
00:05:55,737 --> 00:05:58,028
- All right?
- I'll be right here.

60
00:05:58,029 --> 00:05:59,555
Good.

61
00:05:59,555 --> 00:06:01,243
How you doin' today, Jackie?

62
00:06:01,243 --> 00:06:03,856
Hi. How're you feeling?

63
00:06:03,856 --> 00:06:05,866
- Feelin' pretty good.
- Great.

64
00:06:05,867 --> 00:06:10,006
Make a fist for me?
Once more.

65
00:06:10,007 --> 00:06:13,502
Gonna have to start lookin' for veins
in your feet, sweetheart.

66
00:06:13,503 --> 00:06:16,316
- Patience, Tyrone.
- Okay.

67
00:06:19,853 --> 00:06:22,064
Once more.

68
00:06:39,347 --> 00:06:42,080
- How are the Magruder accounts?
- We'll close in a couple weeks.

69
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,969
Terrific job on the Kendall situation.

70
00:06:43,969 --> 00:06:46,180
- Top-notch, Mr. Beckett.
- Thanks, Kenneth, Robert.

71
00:06:46,180 --> 00:06:48,511
- Hi, Mr. Beckett.
- Hi, Rose.

72
00:06:48,511 --> 00:06:52,129
Anthea, just the paralegal
extraordinaire I was hoping to see.

73
00:06:52,129 --> 00:06:54,018
I know what that means.
The answer is no.

74
00:06:54,018 --> 00:06:57,032
- I'm talkin' dinner at Felicia's.
- I've got a class.

75
00:06:57,032 --> 00:07:00,248
I've got some pretty compelling briefs
that need proofing.

76
00:07:00,249 --> 00:07:02,057
You can exploit somebody else.

77
00:07:02,659 --> 00:07:05,674
- Since you've asked...
- Your exam.

78
00:07:05,674 --> 00:07:07,804
Thank you. Ninety-eight.

79
00:07:07,805 --> 00:07:11,824
Ninety-eight? Congratulations.

80
00:07:11,825 --> 00:07:14,034
I have to pick up Amy, but I want
to talk to you about that Hansen thing.

81
00:07:14,035 --> 00:07:17,531
Give me a call. I'll be here. Tell Amy
I loved her painting. It's on my wall.

82
00:07:17,531 --> 00:07:20,063
Hi, Andrew. Conference call's up.
The roll call just started.

83
00:07:20,063 --> 00:07:23,158
Now, this is a settlement agreement.
The red-line copy's on your desk.

84
00:07:23,159 --> 00:07:26,494
- You need me in there?
- No. It's 6:30. Go home.

85
00:07:30,112 --> 00:07:32,122
<i>- Hello?
- Hey, Mom!</i>

86
00:07:32,202 --> 00:07:35,417
Oh, hi, darling.
What a wonderful surprise. How are you?

87
00:07:35,418 --> 00:07:37,025
<i>Good. </i>

88
00:07:37,025 --> 00:07:38,954
Well, what does Dr. Gillman say?

89
00:07:39,035 --> 00:07:43,054
Dr. Gillman says I am fine.
My blood work is excellent.

90
00:07:43,055 --> 00:07:44,984
She says my T-cells are steady.

91
00:07:44,984 --> 00:07:47,476
Honey, how 'bout your platelets?
What did she say?

92
00:07:47,477 --> 00:07:49,606
<i>Oh, even my platelets look good. </i>

93
00:07:49,607 --> 00:07:51,013
Great.

94
00:07:51,013 --> 00:07:53,304
Mom, more importantly,
how are you?

95
00:07:54,510 --> 00:07:55,715
<i>Mom?</i>

96
00:07:57,725 --> 00:07:58,931
I'm fine.

97
00:07:58,931 --> 00:08:01,262
<i>- And Dad?
- Dad is fine. </i>

98
00:08:01,262 --> 00:08:02,789
And what are you doin'?

99
00:08:22,283 --> 00:08:23,771
Okay.

100
00:08:25,378 --> 00:08:29,197
"Action for the wrongful interference
with prospective economic relations. "

101
00:08:29,198 --> 00:08:30,403
Okay.

102
00:08:36,552 --> 00:08:38,441
Am I interrupting you?

103
00:08:38,441 --> 00:08:40,652
In a word, Bob...

104
00:08:40,652 --> 00:08:43,064
Charles wants to see you upstairs.

105
00:08:44,591 --> 00:08:46,681
I was just about to take a break.

106
00:08:47,405 --> 00:08:50,017
- I'm not underdressed for this?
- No, you're not.

107
00:08:50,018 --> 00:08:52,911
<i>Charles, Andy has expressed
a keen interest... </i>

108
00:08:52,912 --> 00:08:55,524
<i>in Highline, Inc. V. Sander Systems. </i>

109
00:08:55,524 --> 00:08:57,333
Isn't that right, Andy?

110
00:08:57,333 --> 00:09:01,754
The fate of the participants
interests me. Yes, sir.

111
00:09:02,558 --> 00:09:04,567
It's an antitrust action.

112
00:09:06,296 --> 00:09:09,592
It is, and it isn't, Charles.

113
00:09:09,593 --> 00:09:13,812
Sander Systems copies
Highline's spreadsheet program.

114
00:09:13,813 --> 00:09:15,942
For me...

115
00:09:15,943 --> 00:09:20,565
the legal principle involved is
copyright infringement.

116
00:09:21,851 --> 00:09:23,780
Well, tell me this, Andy.

117
00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:27,880
Which side of this conflict would you
wish to see emerge victorious?

118
00:09:27,881 --> 00:09:31,015
And don't allow my close personal
relationship with Bill Wright...

119
00:09:31,015 --> 00:09:34,833
Sander Systems' C. E. O. To influence
your answer in any way.

120
00:09:36,843 --> 00:09:39,335
Well, I'd like to see Highline
win this one.

121
00:09:39,336 --> 00:09:41,264
Oh! Why, Beckett?

122
00:09:43,877 --> 00:09:46,007
If Sanders Systems wins...

123
00:09:46,007 --> 00:09:50,429
an energetic,
young company is destroyed.

124
00:09:50,430 --> 00:09:54,850
The laws for antitrust and copyright
were enacted to prevent exactly...

125
00:09:54,851 --> 00:09:58,065
the kind of bullshit
that Sander Systems is trying to pull.

126
00:09:58,066 --> 00:10:00,678
- Andy, you know who reps Highline?
- Rodney Bailey.

127
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,085
Oh, I object!

128
00:10:04,175 --> 00:10:08,717
Rodney Bailey, who couldn't find his way
around copyright law with a map.

129
00:10:12,415 --> 00:10:17,037
Well, apparently the fellas
at Highline agree with you, Andy.

130
00:10:17,038 --> 00:10:22,262
Which explains why, as of 9:03
this evening, right after dessert...

131
00:10:22,263 --> 00:10:28,010
Highline is now represented by Wyant,
Wheeler, Hellerman, Tetlow and Brown.

132
00:10:28,011 --> 00:10:29,618
Outstanding.

133
00:10:30,823 --> 00:10:32,713
And more specifically...

134
00:10:32,714 --> 00:10:37,134
Senior Associate Andrew Beckett.

135
00:10:37,135 --> 00:10:39,947
- Bravo!
- Yes!

136
00:10:47,102 --> 00:10:48,710
- Come on!
- Congratulations.

137
00:10:48,711 --> 00:10:53,131
- Thank you, Robert.
- We've got to get on this right away.

138
00:10:53,132 --> 00:10:55,221
Statute of limitations, yeah.
I'm right on it.

139
00:10:55,221 --> 00:10:57,753
- Exactly.
- We have ten days to file.

140
00:10:57,753 --> 00:10:59,441
Tokyo on line four, Bob.

141
00:10:59,441 --> 00:11:02,054
Walter, thank you.

142
00:11:03,782 --> 00:11:05,792
- Kenneth, thank you.
- You bet, Andy. Congratulations.

143
00:11:05,872 --> 00:11:08,807
- Thanks. I'm overwhelmed.
- What's that on your forehead, pal?

144
00:11:08,808 --> 00:11:10,615
What? Where?

145
00:11:11,902 --> 00:11:13,630
That... right there on your forehead.

146
00:11:14,514 --> 00:11:16,845
Oh, I got whacked in the head
with a racket ball.

147
00:11:18,132 --> 00:11:19,538
Excuse me.

148
00:11:24,402 --> 00:11:25,889
Charles, I...

149
00:11:27,095 --> 00:11:31,918
I sincerely appreciate
your faith in my abilities.

150
00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:36,339
Faith, Andy, is the belief in something
for which we have no evidence.

151
00:11:36,340 --> 00:11:39,756
It does not apply to this situation.

152
00:11:42,489 --> 00:11:44,097
Well, go home.

153
00:11:44,097 --> 00:11:45,986
Oh, no! Go back to work.

154
00:11:56,436 --> 00:11:58,044
Thank you, Charles.

155
00:11:58,045 --> 00:11:59,652
No sweat, buddy.

156
00:12:06,002 --> 00:12:09,901
The committee meeting we're gonna have
next week... a bunch of staff members...

157
00:12:27,305 --> 00:12:29,194
Tommy, how are ya?

158
00:12:59,460 --> 00:13:02,073
<i>The Highline complaint is
right there on my desk, Shelby. </i>

159
00:13:02,073 --> 00:13:05,610
<i>It's all set to go,
so make sure Jamey is on top of it. </i>

160
00:13:05,610 --> 00:13:07,901
Sure. You got it.
Anything else?

161
00:13:07,901 --> 00:13:12,242
<i>No, that's it. I'm gonna be working
out of the house this afternoon... </i>

162
00:13:12,243 --> 00:13:13,930
so, thanks a lot.

163
00:13:13,930 --> 00:13:16,060
<i>- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye. </i>

164
00:13:16,061 --> 00:13:21,165
Okay. Now, you're gonna want to apply
this foundation as evenly as you can.

165
00:13:22,290 --> 00:13:24,782
'Cause you don't want it to look
like you threw it on with a spoon.

166
00:13:24,782 --> 00:13:27,315
- Yeah.
- So, over here, you try this.

167
00:13:27,316 --> 00:13:29,525
- I got it.
- Right there.

168
00:13:29,525 --> 00:13:33,022
Chandra, you don't think this is
just a little too orange for me?

169
00:13:33,023 --> 00:13:37,845
Well, okay, it's Tahitian Bronze.
That works best on these lesions.

170
00:13:37,846 --> 00:13:41,262
Think of it as the
"I just got back from Aruba" look.

171
00:13:41,263 --> 00:13:43,593
Exactly. I've called in sick
for four days...

172
00:13:43,593 --> 00:13:47,090
and now they're gonna think
I was taking a cruise.

173
00:13:47,091 --> 00:13:49,823
- Fax.
- Oh, thank you, Bruno.

174
00:13:50,627 --> 00:13:52,838
Okay, we can try this light Egypt...

175
00:13:53,843 --> 00:13:55,048
What?

176
00:13:59,872 --> 00:14:01,077
Excuse me.

177
00:14:07,991 --> 00:14:10,201
Just like my cousin, Fredo.

178
00:14:16,954 --> 00:14:19,366
Does anybody want a bagel?

179
00:14:33,715 --> 00:14:35,644
You okay, Andy?

180
00:14:38,538 --> 00:14:42,075
I think I need to go
to the hospital.

181
00:14:55,058 --> 00:14:56,465
Watch out!

182
00:15:09,327 --> 00:15:12,020
Hello, hello.
Oh, it's all right.

183
00:15:12,743 --> 00:15:14,753
It's all right.

184
00:15:14,753 --> 00:15:16,762
- I'm gettin' out of here, all right?
- Okay.

185
00:15:16,762 --> 00:15:18,973
I'll talk to you later.
Oh, one more.

186
00:15:18,973 --> 00:15:21,264
Thank you for driving
like a bat out of hell.

187
00:15:21,264 --> 00:15:24,198
- Take it easy, all right?
- Dr. Gillman is out of her office.

188
00:15:24,198 --> 00:15:27,012
I told her to take a day off, and she
took a day off. Can you believe that?

189
00:15:27,012 --> 00:15:29,102
They took blood?
A specimen or something?

190
00:15:29,102 --> 00:15:33,121
Blood, yes. A specimen, I'm empty.
Did you find someone to take your class?

191
00:15:33,122 --> 00:15:34,729
Don't worry about it.
Let me see.

192
00:15:34,730 --> 00:15:37,945
Oh, you got a fever, baby.

193
00:15:38,869 --> 00:15:41,281
Oh, there's my guy.
Excuse me.

194
00:15:41,281 --> 00:15:43,089
Doctor? Hello, hi.

195
00:15:43,089 --> 00:15:44,577
Just one second.

196
00:15:45,782 --> 00:15:48,918
I came that close to not making it
to the bathroom again.

197
00:15:48,918 --> 00:15:51,731
- I almost lost it in front of everyone.
- So what?

198
00:15:51,731 --> 00:15:55,148
- It's nothing to be ashamed of.
- I'm not ashamed, it's just...

199
00:15:56,152 --> 00:15:58,443
- What about my blood work?
- We're waiting.

200
00:15:58,443 --> 00:16:02,463
Meanwhile, I want to prep you
for a colonoscopy, take a look inside.

201
00:16:07,688 --> 00:16:09,698
- It sounds delightful.
- Wait a minute.

202
00:16:09,698 --> 00:16:11,506
Why do you need to do this?

203
00:16:11,627 --> 00:16:14,843
- Who are you?
- Who are you, Dr...

204
00:16:14,844 --> 00:16:16,852
- This is my partner.
- Yeah?

205
00:16:18,339 --> 00:16:20,872
He keeps the records of all my hospital
visits. It's nothing personal.

206
00:16:20,872 --> 00:16:23,605
Oh, I'm Dr. Klenstein.

207
00:16:23,606 --> 00:16:26,499
Listen, you're right. A colonoscopy
is not a pleasant procedure.

208
00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:30,719
But if the K. S. Is causing the diarrhea,
we've got to know about that right away.

209
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,734
No, but it could be parasites,
an infection. I mean...

210
00:16:33,734 --> 00:16:36,145
Reaction to the A. Z. T.

211
00:16:36,145 --> 00:16:38,477
All these are possibilities,
but we've got to go forward...

212
00:16:38,477 --> 00:16:41,371
Listen to me. He's not going through
some painful procedure...

213
00:16:41,372 --> 00:16:43,983
until we cancel out everything else,
understand?

214
00:16:43,983 --> 00:16:46,314
- I'm trying to help your partner, okay?
- Okay.

215
00:16:46,315 --> 00:16:48,726
- You're not immediate family.
- I'm not?

216
00:16:48,727 --> 00:16:50,816
- I could have you removed from the E. R.
- Really?

217
00:16:50,817 --> 00:16:53,831
Look, he's upset. He's sorry.

218
00:16:53,832 --> 00:16:55,961
No. Don't apologize for me, okay?

219
00:16:55,961 --> 00:16:59,056
Okay. He's not sorry.
Let's do this.

220
00:16:59,057 --> 00:17:01,387
Let's find out
what the blood work tells us.

221
00:17:01,387 --> 00:17:05,607
I'll try to give you a specimen.
Some hospital food may help me along.

222
00:17:05,607 --> 00:17:08,702
Then we might hear from Dr. Gillman.
We can start from there, okay?

223
00:17:08,703 --> 00:17:10,712
- Everybody happy? All right?
- Okay.

224
00:17:11,636 --> 00:17:15,053
- I'll see the lab about the blood work.
- Thank you, Doctor.

225
00:17:15,053 --> 00:17:16,540
I'm sorry.

226
00:17:19,072 --> 00:17:21,484
That's the third time
the office has beeped me.

227
00:17:21,485 --> 00:17:23,494
- I better go.
- "Klenstein"?

228
00:17:23,495 --> 00:17:27,915
I gotta go give them a call.
Now, I want you to sit down and relax.

229
00:17:27,916 --> 00:17:29,523
- I am relaxed.
- Oh, good.

230
00:17:29,523 --> 00:17:31,613
Is there a phone around,
somewhere nearby?

231
00:17:31,614 --> 00:17:33,823
- Down the hall.
- Thank you.

232
00:17:33,944 --> 00:17:37,642
<i>If you or someone you know has been
injured through the fault of others... </i>

233
00:17:37,643 --> 00:17:39,772
<i>you may be entitled

234
00:17:39,772 --> 00:17:42,264
<i>or money damages

235
00:17:42,264 --> 00:17:44,193
<i>- Good Lord.
- I'm attorneyJoseph Miller. </i>

236
00:17:44,193 --> 00:17:45,801
<i>At McCreedy and... </i>

237
00:17:45,802 --> 00:17:47,007
Mr. Beckett's office.

238
00:17:47,087 --> 00:17:50,906
Shelby, it's me.
Jamey's been beepin' me.

239
00:17:50,907 --> 00:17:52,313
<i>I'm so glad you called, Andrew. </i>

240
00:17:52,433 --> 00:17:56,332
Listen, I just want you to know we have
a minor catastrophe in the making here.

241
00:17:56,333 --> 00:17:59,548
It's about that Highline complaint.
Jamey is going absolutely ballistic.

242
00:17:59,548 --> 00:18:02,200
All right. Calm down.
Put him on.

243
00:18:02,201 --> 00:18:04,089
<i>All right. One second. </i>

244
00:18:04,210 --> 00:18:07,506
<i>Andy, this is a disaster! We can't find
the revisions on the Highline complaint. </i>

245
00:18:07,507 --> 00:18:09,918
Wait, wait. Slow down.

246
00:18:09,918 --> 00:18:13,857
I told them you were working at home,
and it would be here this morning.

247
00:18:13,858 --> 00:18:16,951
No. I brought it into the office
last night.

248
00:18:16,952 --> 00:18:21,172
I was there till 3:00 a. m. There should
be a copy with corrections on my desk.

249
00:18:21,173 --> 00:18:24,588
I'm telling you it's not here, Andy.
Shelby can't find it either.

250
00:18:24,588 --> 00:18:27,723
All right.
The hard disk on my computer.

251
00:18:27,723 --> 00:18:31,421
<i>Print it up on the double and run it
through word processing yourself. </i>

252
00:18:31,422 --> 00:18:35,642
<i>- Okay. What did you file it under?
- H- L-1. </i>

253
00:18:35,643 --> 00:18:39,179
<i>Jamey, I don't have to tell you we are
up against the statute of limitations... </i>

254
00:18:39,179 --> 00:18:41,188
and it runs out in...

255
00:18:41,189 --> 00:18:43,801
in 75 minutes?

256
00:18:47,298 --> 00:18:50,312
<i>- It's not here, Andy.
- Not there? I'm on my way. </i>

257
00:18:54,131 --> 00:18:57,467
Every problem has a solution.

258
00:19:09,123 --> 00:19:12,138
Aw, it's coming.
Yeah, baby, it's coming!

259
00:19:12,138 --> 00:19:14,429
It's a girl.

260
00:19:14,429 --> 00:19:15,755
Oh, my God.

261
00:19:19,252 --> 00:19:22,668
- Take a picture, Joe.
- I'm trying. I can't get the film in.

262
00:19:22,669 --> 00:19:26,205
Oh, my God.
Baby? Help me, baby.

263
00:19:29,823 --> 00:19:32,235
Aw, look at her.

264
00:19:32,236 --> 00:19:34,727
- That little, sweet little...
- Get a picture before she gets too old.

265
00:19:37,259 --> 00:19:40,595
She's perfect, Lisa.
Long hair.

266
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,690
Go down to Famous Fourth Street Deli,
and get a pound of Nova...

267
00:19:43,690 --> 00:19:46,222
No... Scotch salmon.
She likes that.

268
00:19:46,222 --> 00:19:48,835
Yeah. Some onion rolls, bagels...
Here, give me a call.

269
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,719
- Nice champagne.
- You're that TV guy.

270
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,719
I don't care how much it costs.
Get some nice Dom Perignon.

271
00:19:54,719 --> 00:19:56,518
- Thanks.
- How much?

272
00:19:56,518 --> 00:19:59,437
A hundred dollars? Don't get
Dom Perignon. Get a nice Californian.

273
00:19:59,437 --> 00:20:02,436
Dom Perignon's too much. Get it all
over here, because she's starving.

274
00:20:02,437 --> 00:20:05,834
No, Iris, not the baby.
Lisa is starving.

275
00:20:05,835 --> 00:20:09,113
Yeah, Lisa.
Iris, listen.

276
00:20:09,114 --> 00:20:11,432
- Anybody call?
- An Andrew Beckett called.

277
00:20:11,432 --> 00:20:13,911
Beckett? Who's Andrew Beckett?

278
00:20:13,912 --> 00:20:15,830
There he is! Joseph!

279
00:20:53,815 --> 00:20:58,813
The entire street is clear, except for
one small area under construction:

280
00:20:58,814 --> 00:21:01,492
This huge hole that is
clearly marked and blocked off.

281
00:21:01,492 --> 00:21:05,211
- Yes.
- You decide to cross at this spot.

282
00:21:05,212 --> 00:21:08,889
You fall into the hole. Now you want
to sue the city for negligence, right?

283
00:21:08,889 --> 00:21:11,208
Yes. Do I have a case?

284
00:21:11,209 --> 00:21:15,287
- Yes. Of course you've got a case.
- Great.

285
00:21:15,288 --> 00:21:17,286
- Go with my assistant Iris.
- All right.

286
00:21:17,286 --> 00:21:20,405
She'll have you fill out some forms,
tell you about our fee arrangement.

287
00:21:20,405 --> 00:21:23,803
Of course, you know we take no cash
unless we get cash justice for you.

288
00:21:23,803 --> 00:21:26,402
How's your back? You got any
lower back pain, dizziness, nightmares?

289
00:21:26,403 --> 00:21:28,402
Funny you should mention that.
I been having...

290
00:21:28,402 --> 00:21:32,000
Iris will take good care of you.
Iris, you take good care of Mr. Finley.

291
00:21:32,001 --> 00:21:34,519
- I will. Mr. Beckett's here.
- Hey, thanks a lot.

292
00:21:34,519 --> 00:21:37,518
Take care. Mr. Beckett?

293
00:21:40,517 --> 00:21:42,316
Mr. Beckett, come in.

294
00:21:47,594 --> 00:21:49,513
It's good to see you again,
Counselor.

295
00:21:49,513 --> 00:21:53,312
Judge Tate. Kendall Construction.

296
00:21:53,312 --> 00:21:55,711
"Innocuous. "

297
00:21:55,711 --> 00:21:57,590
How are you?
What happened to your face?

298
00:21:58,190 --> 00:21:59,709
I have AIDS.

299
00:22:02,188 --> 00:22:03,908
I'm sorry. I, uh...

300
00:22:09,905 --> 00:22:11,904
- Can I sit down?
- Yeah.

301
00:22:11,904 --> 00:22:13,704
Thank you.

302
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:23,700
Oh, look at this.

303
00:22:23,780 --> 00:22:25,899
You have a new baby.

304
00:22:29,378 --> 00:22:31,377
Yeah.
I got a little baby girl.

305
00:22:35,375 --> 00:22:38,294
"It's a girl. "
Congratulations.

306
00:22:40,373 --> 00:22:42,292
Yeah. One week old.

307
00:22:42,292 --> 00:22:44,372
Kids are great.

308
00:22:44,971 --> 00:22:48,770
Yeah. Thank you, Beckett.
I'm real excited about it. Listen, I...

309
00:22:51,169 --> 00:22:53,288
What can I do for you?

310
00:22:53,288 --> 00:22:56,687
I've been fired by Wyant, Wheeler.

311
00:22:58,366 --> 00:23:02,604
I want to bring a wrongful termination
suit against Wheeler and his partners.

312
00:23:02,605 --> 00:23:06,483
You want to sue Wyant, Wheeler,
Hellerman, Tetlow and Brown?

313
00:23:06,483 --> 00:23:09,402
Correct.
I'm seeking representation.

314
00:23:10,881 --> 00:23:12,401
Continue.

315
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,999
I misplaced an important complaint.
That's their story.

316
00:23:18,278 --> 00:23:20,078
Want to hear mine?

317
00:23:23,676 --> 00:23:26,075
How many lawyers did you go to
before you called me?

318
00:23:27,075 --> 00:23:28,394
Nine.

319
00:23:29,994 --> 00:23:31,473
Continue.

320
00:23:32,273 --> 00:23:36,271
The night before it was due,
I worked on the complaint in my office.

321
00:23:36,272 --> 00:23:37,871
I left a copy of it on my desk.

322
00:23:38,870 --> 00:23:41,589
The next day,
the complaint vanished.

323
00:23:42,469 --> 00:23:44,268
No hard copy.

324
00:23:45,468 --> 00:23:50,266
All traces of it
mysteriously gone from my computer.

325
00:23:50,865 --> 00:23:55,064
<i>Miraculously, a copy of the complaint
was located at the last minute... </i>

326
00:23:55,065 --> 00:23:57,663
<i>and we got it to court on time. </i>

327
00:23:58,183 --> 00:24:02,461
<i>But the next day I was summoned
to a meeting with the managing partners. </i>

328
00:24:02,461 --> 00:24:04,660
<i>They were waiting for me
in the conference room. </i>

329
00:24:04,660 --> 00:24:07,259
Oh, hello, Andy!
Come on in.

330
00:24:07,259 --> 00:24:09,258
Would you mind hitting the windows?

331
00:24:11,577 --> 00:24:13,656
Thanks. Come on in.

332
00:24:13,657 --> 00:24:17,575
Kenneth, Robert, Charles,
Walter and Lydia.

333
00:24:17,576 --> 00:24:19,374
Thanks for coming in.

334
00:24:19,374 --> 00:24:20,854
Oh, of course.

335
00:24:20,974 --> 00:24:25,252
Andy, before we begin,
I'd just like to say...

336
00:24:25,253 --> 00:24:28,051
that everyone in this room
is your friend.

337
00:24:28,051 --> 00:24:29,970
I know that, Charles.

338
00:24:29,970 --> 00:24:32,649
More than your friend...

339
00:24:32,649 --> 00:24:33,848
family.

340
00:24:35,168 --> 00:24:40,886
Charles, I must apologize again
for the Highline mishap yesterday.

341
00:24:40,887 --> 00:24:44,764
That was some scary moment
around here.

342
00:24:44,764 --> 00:24:47,683
Wow. Thank God
the complaint was found...

343
00:24:47,684 --> 00:24:49,762
and no damage was done.

344
00:24:49,762 --> 00:24:52,761
This time.
What about next time?

345
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,280
There won't be a next time.

346
00:24:56,360 --> 00:24:57,879
I guarantee it.

347
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,077
Yeah. It's just that something's
come over you lately, Andy.

348
00:25:02,078 --> 00:25:03,877
I don't know...

349
00:25:03,877 --> 00:25:07,355
some kind of stupor or fogginess.

350
00:25:07,355 --> 00:25:10,274
Some people think you have
an attitude problem, Beckett.

351
00:25:12,353 --> 00:25:14,272
Really?

352
00:25:14,272 --> 00:25:15,672
Who thinks that?

353
00:25:15,672 --> 00:25:17,351
I do.

354
00:25:21,070 --> 00:25:22,869
Excuse me.

355
00:25:24,269 --> 00:25:25,948
Am I being fired?

356
00:25:27,147 --> 00:25:29,267
Let me put it this way, Andy.

357
00:25:29,267 --> 00:25:33,265
Your place in the future
of this firm is no longer secure.

358
00:25:33,265 --> 00:25:36,144
We feel it isn't fair
to keep you here...

359
00:25:36,144 --> 00:25:39,343
when your prospects are limited.

360
00:25:40,062 --> 00:25:44,141
And now,
I don't want to rush you out...

361
00:25:44,142 --> 00:25:45,540
We've got a committee meeting.

362
00:25:45,660 --> 00:25:47,140
Excuse me, Charles...

363
00:25:47,140 --> 00:25:51,338
with all due respect,
this is preposterous!

364
00:25:51,339 --> 00:25:53,057
It doesn't make any sense.

365
00:25:53,058 --> 00:25:55,856
Oh, you're right, Beckett.
You don't have an attitude problem.

366
00:25:55,856 --> 00:25:57,136
Take it easy.

367
00:25:57,136 --> 00:26:00,454
If you'd lost confidence in me,
why did you give me the Highline suit?

368
00:26:00,455 --> 00:26:04,453
Andy, you nearly blew the entire case.
That alone is inexcusable.

369
00:26:04,454 --> 00:26:07,332
It would have been
catastrophic for us.

370
00:26:11,650 --> 00:26:14,249
So you were
concealing your illness.

371
00:26:17,048 --> 00:26:18,647
That's correct.

372
00:26:21,046 --> 00:26:23,365
All right. Explain this to me
like I'm a two-year-old, okay?

373
00:26:23,365 --> 00:26:27,044
Because there's an element to this thing
that I cannot get through my thick head.

374
00:26:29,363 --> 00:26:31,362
Didn't you have an obligation
to tell your employer...

375
00:26:31,363 --> 00:26:33,841
you had this dreaded, deadly,
infectious disease?

376
00:26:34,761 --> 00:26:36,960
That's not the point.

377
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,959
From the day they hired me
to the day I was fired...

378
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,437
I served my clients consistently,
thoroughly, with absolute excellence.

379
00:26:43,437 --> 00:26:46,236
If they hadn't fired me,
that's what I'd be doing today.

380
00:26:46,237 --> 00:26:48,555
And they don't want to fire you
for having AIDS...

381
00:26:48,555 --> 00:26:51,434
so, in spite of your brilliance,
they make you look incompetent.

382
00:26:51,435 --> 00:26:53,833
Thus, the mysterious lost files.
Is that what you're trying to tell me?

383
00:26:53,833 --> 00:26:56,632
Correct. I was sabotaged.

384
00:27:00,431 --> 00:27:02,350
I don't buy it, Counselor.

385
00:27:04,349 --> 00:27:06,548
That's very disappointing.

386
00:27:06,548 --> 00:27:08,427
I don't see a case.

387
00:27:11,826 --> 00:27:13,825
I have a case.

388
00:27:14,425 --> 00:27:16,824
If you don't want it
for personal reasons...

389
00:27:16,824 --> 00:27:19,743
Thank you.
That's correct. I don't.

390
00:27:21,742 --> 00:27:23,821
Well, thank you for your time,
Counselor.

391
00:27:35,137 --> 00:27:38,136
I'm sorry about what happened to you.
It's a bitch, you know?

392
00:27:49,731 --> 00:27:51,730
Have a nice day, Mr. Beckett.

393
00:27:51,730 --> 00:27:53,730
What the hell's the matter
with that guy?

394
00:27:53,730 --> 00:27:56,049
Iris, find out
if Armbruster can see me.

395
00:27:56,050 --> 00:27:57,648
- Joe Miller's office.
- Iris.

396
00:27:57,648 --> 00:27:59,247
- Find out if Armbruster can see me.
- Armbruster? When?

397
00:27:59,247 --> 00:28:01,446
- Sometime this afternoon.
- What's wrong with him?

398
00:28:01,446 --> 00:28:02,926
No. Right away, Iris.

399
00:28:32,834 --> 00:28:34,234
Excuse me.

400
00:28:39,232 --> 00:28:43,830
<i>The HIV virus can only be transmitted
through the exchange ofbodily fluids... </i>

401
00:28:43,831 --> 00:28:46,829
namely, blood, semen
and vaginal secretions.

402
00:28:46,829 --> 00:28:49,028
Right. Yeah.

403
00:28:49,028 --> 00:28:52,826
But isn't it true they're finding out
new things about this disease every day?

404
00:28:52,827 --> 00:28:55,105
Now, you tell me today
there's no danger. Go home.

405
00:28:55,105 --> 00:28:57,025
I go home.
I pick up my little baby girl.

406
00:28:57,105 --> 00:28:59,304
Then I find out six months from now
on the news or something:

407
00:28:59,304 --> 00:29:02,702
Whoops! Made a mistake.
Yeah, you can carry it...

408
00:29:02,703 --> 00:29:04,502
on your shirt
or your clothes or...

409
00:29:07,021 --> 00:29:08,700
What are you doing?

410
00:29:09,700 --> 00:29:11,099
We're gonna draw blood.

411
00:29:11,219 --> 00:29:13,218
- Why are we gonna do that?
- Joe.

412
00:29:13,218 --> 00:29:14,897
Little Joe.

413
00:29:15,897 --> 00:29:18,416
I've known you
since you were a kid.

414
00:29:18,416 --> 00:29:21,415
And I don't care a whit
about your private life.

415
00:29:23,414 --> 00:29:26,893
Thanks, Doc. I don't need
an AIDS test, but thanks anyway.

416
00:29:26,893 --> 00:29:28,612
Just send a bill
to my office for me.

417
00:29:28,612 --> 00:29:30,411
Okay?

418
00:29:30,411 --> 00:29:32,531
Thanks for the information.
Really.

419
00:29:39,208 --> 00:29:41,207
You have a problem with gays, Joe.

420
00:29:41,207 --> 00:29:43,726
- Not especially.
- Yes, you do.

421
00:29:43,727 --> 00:29:46,405
- How many gays do you know?
- How many do you know?

422
00:29:46,406 --> 00:29:48,204
- Lots.
- Like who?

423
00:29:48,205 --> 00:29:51,323
Karen Berman, my aunt Theresa...

424
00:29:51,923 --> 00:29:54,122
Cousin Tommy
who lives in Rochester...

425
00:29:54,122 --> 00:29:56,121
Eddie Meyers from the office...

426
00:29:57,201 --> 00:29:59,800
Stanley, the guy who's putting in
our kitchen cabinets.

427
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,119
Aunt Theresa is gay?

428
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,318
That beautiful, sensuous,
voluptuous woman is a lesbian?

429
00:30:06,317 --> 00:30:07,917
Since when?

430
00:30:07,917 --> 00:30:09,916
Probably since she was born.

431
00:30:09,916 --> 00:30:11,395
Oh, man.

432
00:30:12,195 --> 00:30:14,314
All right. Well, hey,
I admit it, okay?

433
00:30:14,394 --> 00:30:17,193
I'm prejudiced. I don't like
homosexuals. There. You got me.

434
00:30:17,194 --> 00:30:20,392
- All right.
- I mean, the way these guys do that...

435
00:30:20,393 --> 00:30:21,791
thing, don't they get confused?

436
00:30:21,791 --> 00:30:23,990
"Oh, I don't know.
Is that yours? Is that mine?"

437
00:30:25,710 --> 00:30:29,388
You know, I don't want to be in bed
with anybody who's stronger than me...

438
00:30:29,389 --> 00:30:30,987
or who has more hair
on their chest.

439
00:30:30,988 --> 00:30:35,106
Now, you can call me old-fashioned,
conservative. Just call me a man.

440
00:30:36,785 --> 00:30:40,304
Besides, I think you have to be a man
to understand how...

441
00:30:40,305 --> 00:30:42,583
really disgusting
that whole idea is anyway.

442
00:30:42,583 --> 00:30:44,382
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

443
00:30:44,382 --> 00:30:46,701
Well, well.
Little caveman of the house.

444
00:30:46,702 --> 00:30:48,700
You damn skippy.

445
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:51,299
Here you go, baby.
Stay away from your aunt Theresa too.

446
00:30:51,299 --> 00:30:53,698
Joe, don't say that to her.

447
00:30:53,698 --> 00:30:55,778
Think about those guys
pumping up together...

448
00:30:55,778 --> 00:30:57,897
trying to be macho and faggot
at the same time.

449
00:30:57,897 --> 00:31:00,776
I mean, I can't stand that shit.

450
00:31:00,777 --> 00:31:02,695
Hey, I'm bein' totally honest
with you, okay?

451
00:31:02,696 --> 00:31:06,573
- Oh, yeah. You are.
- All right. I got a question for you.

452
00:31:06,574 --> 00:31:08,972
Would you accept a client...

453
00:31:08,973 --> 00:31:11,292
if you were constantly thinking...

454
00:31:11,292 --> 00:31:13,491
"I don't want this person to touch me.

455
00:31:13,491 --> 00:31:16,090
I don't want him
to even breathe on me"?

456
00:31:17,609 --> 00:31:20,288
- Not if I was you, honey.
- That's what I'm talking about.

457
00:31:20,289 --> 00:31:21,488
What?

458
00:31:22,287 --> 00:31:25,686
<i>Ho, ho, ho!
Merry Christmas!</i>

459
00:31:27,885 --> 00:31:29,604
- Merry Christmas.
- Thank you.

460
00:31:30,804 --> 00:31:33,083
- Hey, merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas, sir.

461
00:31:36,002 --> 00:31:37,801
Thank...

462
00:31:37,802 --> 00:31:39,201
Happy new year.

463
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,079
- You're the, uh, the TV guy.
- TV guy.

464
00:32:30,580 --> 00:32:31,860
Sir?

465
00:32:34,179 --> 00:32:36,258
This is the supplement.

466
00:32:37,178 --> 00:32:41,976
You're right. There is a section
on HIV-related discrimination.

467
00:32:41,977 --> 00:32:43,855
Thank you.

468
00:32:43,855 --> 00:32:46,174
Thank you very much.

469
00:32:55,171 --> 00:32:58,289
We do have a private research room
available.

470
00:32:58,290 --> 00:33:00,169
I'm fine right here.
Thank you.

471
00:33:00,169 --> 00:33:04,167
<i>Excuse me. Do you know where I can find
the State v. Murdock case?</i>

472
00:33:04,168 --> 00:33:06,286
Just a moment.
I'll be right with you.

473
00:33:06,286 --> 00:33:07,566
Thanks.

474
00:33:26,758 --> 00:33:29,157
Wouldn't you be more comfortable
in a research room?

475
00:33:43,152 --> 00:33:45,271
No.

476
00:33:45,272 --> 00:33:47,270
Would it make you more comfortable?

477
00:33:56,266 --> 00:33:58,466
Beckett. How you doin'?

478
00:34:03,264 --> 00:34:04,743
Counselor.

479
00:34:17,258 --> 00:34:18,937
Whatever, sir.

480
00:34:23,935 --> 00:34:25,135
Excuse me.

481
00:34:35,971 --> 00:34:37,370
Who'd you get?

482
00:34:38,370 --> 00:34:39,569
What?

483
00:34:39,569 --> 00:34:41,848
Did you find a lawyer?

484
00:34:43,048 --> 00:34:44,447
I'm a lawyer.

485
00:34:46,447 --> 00:34:48,446
Hey, how's your baby?

486
00:34:48,447 --> 00:34:51,045
Oh, yeah. She's, uh...

487
00:34:51,045 --> 00:34:52,964
She's wonderful, great.

488
00:34:52,964 --> 00:34:54,763
What's her name?

489
00:34:54,843 --> 00:34:56,842
Larice.

490
00:34:56,842 --> 00:34:59,242
That's a beautiful name.

491
00:34:59,761 --> 00:35:02,360
Named her after my sister.

492
00:35:39,226 --> 00:35:40,545
Look, I'm, uh...

493
00:35:46,223 --> 00:35:48,142
How'd they find out
you have the AIDS?

494
00:35:48,142 --> 00:35:51,621
One of the partners noticed
a lesion on my forehead.

495
00:35:57,339 --> 00:36:00,817
But how do you go from, uh...

496
00:36:00,818 --> 00:36:05,415
How do you go from a lawyer spotting
a lesion, which could be anything...

497
00:36:05,416 --> 00:36:09,054
to the partners deducing
that you have AIDS...

498
00:36:09,055 --> 00:36:12,253
and terminating you
on the basis of that conclusion?

499
00:36:14,532 --> 00:36:16,451
That's a good point.

500
00:36:25,328 --> 00:36:28,846
The partner who spotted the lesion,
Walter Kenton...

501
00:36:28,847 --> 00:36:32,645
worked for Walsh,
Ulmer and Brahm in D. C.

502
00:36:32,646 --> 00:36:35,244
A paralegal there,
Melissa Benedict...

503
00:36:35,245 --> 00:36:38,842
showed lesions on and off
for the better part of two, three years.

504
00:36:38,843 --> 00:36:42,641
She says it was common knowledge around
the office they were caused by AIDS.

505
00:36:42,641 --> 00:36:44,120
But they didn't fire her.

506
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,519
No. They did not fire her.

507
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:48,638
I see.

508
00:36:48,718 --> 00:36:50,837
So you got a relevant precedent?

509
00:36:51,917 --> 00:36:53,916
<i>The Arline decision. </i>

510
00:36:53,916 --> 00:36:56,315
<i>- Arline?
- Supreme Court. </i>

511
00:37:13,628 --> 00:37:15,628
"The Federal Vocational
Rehabilitation Act...

512
00:37:15,628 --> 00:37:18,427
of 1973 prohibits
discrimination...

513
00:37:18,427 --> 00:37:21,825
against otherwise
qualified handicapped persons...

514
00:37:21,825 --> 00:37:25,904
who are able to perform the duties
required by their employment.

515
00:37:25,905 --> 00:37:28,023
Although the ruling did not
address the specific issue...

516
00:37:28,023 --> 00:37:30,102
of HIV and AIDS discrimination... "

517
00:37:30,103 --> 00:37:34,100
"Subsequent decisions have held
that AIDS is protected as a handicap...

518
00:37:34,101 --> 00:37:38,499
under law, not only because of
the physical limitations it imposes...

519
00:37:38,499 --> 00:37:40,818
but because the prejudice
surrounding AIDS...

520
00:37:40,818 --> 00:37:44,096
exacts a social death which precedes...

521
00:37:47,415 --> 00:37:50,934
which precedes
the actual physical one. "

522
00:37:59,610 --> 00:38:01,929
"This is the essence
of discrimination:

523
00:38:03,009 --> 00:38:07,727
Forming opinions about others
not based on their individual merits...

524
00:38:07,728 --> 00:38:11,806
but rather their membership in a group
with assumed characteristics. "

525
00:38:38,515 --> 00:38:41,194
- Charles Wheeler.
- Julius Erving!

526
00:38:41,195 --> 00:38:43,713
- By golly, I'm glad to see you!
- Ken Starr.

527
00:38:43,713 --> 00:38:46,792
- Ken, how are ya?
- How are ya?

528
00:38:46,793 --> 00:38:48,111
Come over here.

529
00:38:53,109 --> 00:38:55,108
Charles Wheeler, how you doin'?

530
00:38:55,108 --> 00:38:56,508
- How are you?
- Very good.

531
00:38:56,508 --> 00:38:59,307
- Welcome...
- Summons for you.

532
00:38:59,307 --> 00:39:00,706
Take a look at it.
Have a good day.

533
00:39:00,707 --> 00:39:03,705
Hey, Dr. J. How are you?
You're the best.

534
00:39:03,705 --> 00:39:06,184
If you ever need a lawyer for anything,
you give me a call.

535
00:39:06,184 --> 00:39:08,703
If you slip and fall, you know,
accidents, anything, let me know.

536
00:39:08,703 --> 00:39:11,102
See you in court.

537
00:39:11,102 --> 00:39:13,101
- The TV guy.
- Yeah, the TV guy.

538
00:39:18,779 --> 00:39:20,698
Say, Chuck, what's up?

539
00:39:20,699 --> 00:39:25,296
Now, regarding Andy, I want to know
everything regarding his personal life.

540
00:39:25,297 --> 00:39:27,376
Does he frequent those pathetic bars
on Chestnut Street?

541
00:39:27,376 --> 00:39:28,815
- Right.
- Oh, Jesus.

542
00:39:28,815 --> 00:39:31,694
What other homosexual facilities
does he go to?

543
00:39:31,695 --> 00:39:33,213
- Absolutely.
- Charles.

544
00:39:33,293 --> 00:39:37,092
What deviant groups or organizations
does he secretly belong to?

545
00:39:37,093 --> 00:39:38,811
- First thing in the morning.
- Wait a minute!

546
00:39:38,811 --> 00:39:40,091
- Look...
- What is it?

547
00:39:40,091 --> 00:39:43,689
Let's make a fair settlement offer
and put this tragic business behind us.

548
00:39:43,690 --> 00:39:45,608
Bob...

549
00:39:45,608 --> 00:39:49,207
Andy brought AIDS into our offices...

550
00:39:49,208 --> 00:39:51,286
into our men's room.

551
00:39:51,286 --> 00:39:55,485
He brought AIDS
to our annual goddamn family picnic.

552
00:39:55,486 --> 00:39:57,284
We ought to be suing him, Bob.

553
00:39:57,284 --> 00:39:59,803
Where is your compassion,
gentlemen?

554
00:39:59,803 --> 00:40:03,481
Bob, we gave him Highline.
Did Andrew Beckett say...

555
00:40:03,481 --> 00:40:07,480
"I might not be able to serve
our client to the best of my ability"?

556
00:40:07,481 --> 00:40:08,879
He said nothing.

557
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,278
And now, disregarding the trust
and affection I conferred upon him...

558
00:40:12,279 --> 00:40:16,596
Andrew Beckett proposes
to haul me into court...

559
00:40:16,597 --> 00:40:20,875
to sling accusations at me,
to call me a bigot...

560
00:40:20,876 --> 00:40:25,873
in full view of the entire
Philadelphia judicial establishment.

561
00:40:25,874 --> 00:40:27,592
My God!

562
00:40:29,271 --> 00:40:30,671
Excuse me.

563
00:40:32,870 --> 00:40:36,468
Beckett doesn't want to go to court.
He wants a quick, tasty settlement.

564
00:40:36,469 --> 00:40:39,067
A jury might decide
that he has a case.

565
00:40:39,068 --> 00:40:41,386
Wait a minute.

566
00:40:41,386 --> 00:40:45,065
He was fired for incompetence,
not because he has AIDS.

567
00:40:45,985 --> 00:40:48,064
You didn't know he was sick,
did you, Bob?

568
00:40:48,064 --> 00:40:50,583
Holy shit.
Did you, Bob?

569
00:40:53,862 --> 00:40:56,660
No. No, not really.

570
00:41:06,976 --> 00:41:08,696
Okay, everybody.

571
00:41:08,776 --> 00:41:11,974
Everybody, this is the house
that I grew up in...

572
00:41:13,174 --> 00:41:16,573
right here in the hometown
of Lower Merion, Pennsylvania.

573
00:41:16,574 --> 00:41:20,571
Wait, here's proof.

574
00:41:20,571 --> 00:41:25,689
There. My handprints
from when I was a cute little boy.

575
00:41:25,690 --> 00:41:30,487
Today is the 40th wedding anniversary
of my mom and dad, the Becketts.

576
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:31,887
Isn't that somethin'?

577
00:41:31,887 --> 00:41:35,685
Pretty tough life around this poverty
so many years, huh?

578
00:41:35,686 --> 00:41:38,964
Well, those can be some pretty mean
streets. Don't let appearances fool you.

579
00:41:38,964 --> 00:41:41,483
Here's the front door.
Now, I once slammed...

580
00:41:41,483 --> 00:41:44,082
this finger in the front door
and I broke it.

581
00:41:47,081 --> 00:41:49,879
There's my sisterJill,
everybody.

582
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,159
- Say hello, Alexis.
- Mommy's pregnant again!

583
00:41:53,159 --> 00:41:55,479
What? Are you really?

584
00:41:57,359 --> 00:41:59,679
- Hi, Meghan.
- It's Uncle Andy!

585
00:41:59,679 --> 00:42:03,558
- Where's Dad?
- He's trying to fix the snowblower.

586
00:42:03,559 --> 00:42:06,558
It snows once in seven years,
Dad buys a new snowblower.

587
00:42:06,558 --> 00:42:08,678
Oh, me. How are you?

588
00:42:08,678 --> 00:42:11,078
Oh, Mom, today's a good day.

589
00:42:11,078 --> 00:42:13,758
Meghan, keep that up.
You're doin' a great job.

590
00:42:13,758 --> 00:42:16,157
I gotta say hello
to the Bronte sisters.

591
00:42:19,277 --> 00:42:22,277
How are you?
Good to see you.

592
00:42:22,277 --> 00:42:24,477
Hi, Lee. How are you?

593
00:42:27,476 --> 00:42:29,356
Put me down!

594
00:42:30,276 --> 00:42:32,556
<i>If you let me love you</i>

595
00:42:32,556 --> 00:42:35,876
<i>It's for sure I'm gonna love you</i>

596
00:42:37,556 --> 00:42:41,155
<i>All the way</i>

597
00:42:41,156 --> 00:42:43,555
<i>All</i>

598
00:42:43,556 --> 00:42:46,755
<i>Bud and Sarah</i>

599
00:42:46,755 --> 00:42:48,675
<i>All the way</i>

600
00:42:51,995 --> 00:42:56,074
<i>There will be things said at the trial
that are hard for you to hear... </i>

601
00:42:56,075 --> 00:42:58,194
about me and my personal life.

602
00:42:58,194 --> 00:43:01,074
And there's gonna be publicity. I want
to make sure it's okay with everybody.

603
00:43:02,194 --> 00:43:04,274
Andy, you want me to take her?

604
00:43:04,275 --> 00:43:07,873
No. She's fine.

605
00:43:07,873 --> 00:43:09,793
I think it's great
that you're asking, Andy...

606
00:43:09,793 --> 00:43:13,673
but this is really your call.

607
00:43:13,674 --> 00:43:15,473
All right.
Thank you, brother.

608
00:43:18,193 --> 00:43:21,272
Hey, you're my kid brother.

609
00:43:21,273 --> 00:43:22,792
That's all that matters.
Okay?

610
00:43:24,192 --> 00:43:26,992
To be honest,
I'm worried about Mommy and Daddy.

611
00:43:28,992 --> 00:43:30,592
They've been through
so much already.

612
00:43:30,592 --> 00:43:34,991
And it's possible there are going to be
some very tough times ahead.

613
00:43:37,391 --> 00:43:41,471
Andy, the way that you've handled
this whole thing...

614
00:43:41,472 --> 00:43:46,470
you and Miguel...
with so much courage...

615
00:43:46,471 --> 00:43:48,070
I don't believe there's anything...

616
00:43:48,190 --> 00:43:50,790
that anyone could say
that would...

617
00:43:50,791 --> 00:43:55,870
make us feel anything
but incredibly proud of you.

618
00:43:57,590 --> 00:44:01,389
Well, I didn't raise my kids
to sit in the back of the bus.

619
00:44:02,589 --> 00:44:05,669
You get in there
and you fight for your rights, okay?

620
00:44:07,789 --> 00:44:10,389
Gee, I love you guys.

621
00:44:35,387 --> 00:44:37,786
<i>Ladies and gentlemen of thejury... </i>

622
00:44:39,706 --> 00:44:43,186
forget everything you've seen
on television and in the movies.

623
00:44:44,186 --> 00:44:46,106
There's not gonna be
any last-minute surprise witnesses.

624
00:44:46,106 --> 00:44:48,906
Nobody's gonna break down on the stand
with a tearful confession.

625
00:44:48,906 --> 00:44:52,505
You're gonna be presented with
a simple fact:

626
00:44:54,105 --> 00:44:56,585
Andrew Beckett was fired.

627
00:44:56,586 --> 00:44:58,985
You'll hear two explanations
for why he was fired:

628
00:44:58,985 --> 00:45:01,705
Ours and theirs.

629
00:45:01,705 --> 00:45:06,304
It is up to you to sift
through layer upon layer of truth...

630
00:45:06,305 --> 00:45:09,984
until you determine for yourselves
which version sounds the most true.

631
00:45:09,984 --> 00:45:12,304
There are certain points
that I must prove to you.

632
00:45:12,304 --> 00:45:15,384
Point number one:
Andrew Beckett was...

633
00:45:16,703 --> 00:45:18,783
is... a brilliant lawyer...

634
00:45:18,784 --> 00:45:20,703
a great lawyer.

635
00:45:20,703 --> 00:45:24,383
Point number two: Andrew Beckett,
afflicted with a debilitating disease...

636
00:45:24,384 --> 00:45:27,503
made the understandable,
the personal...

637
00:45:28,103 --> 00:45:31,902
the legal choice to keep
the fact of his illness to himself.

638
00:45:31,903 --> 00:45:36,182
Point number three:
His employers discovered his illness.

639
00:45:36,183 --> 00:45:38,702
And, ladies and gentlemen,
the illness I'm referring to is AIDS.

640
00:45:38,702 --> 00:45:42,381
Point number four: They panicked.

641
00:45:46,181 --> 00:45:49,901
And in their panic, they did what most
of us would like to do with AIDS...

642
00:45:49,902 --> 00:45:52,501
which is just get it
and everybody who has it...

643
00:45:52,501 --> 00:45:55,700
as far away from the rest of us
as possible.

644
00:45:58,180 --> 00:46:01,900
Now, the behavior of Andrew Beckett's
employers may seem reasonable to you.

645
00:46:01,901 --> 00:46:03,380
It does to me.

646
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:06,700
After all, AIDS is a deadly,
incurable disease.

647
00:46:06,701 --> 00:46:10,899
But no matter how you come to judge
Charles Wheeler and his partners...

648
00:46:10,900 --> 00:46:15,099
in ethical, moral and human terms,
the fact of the matter is...

649
00:46:15,100 --> 00:46:19,219
when they fired Andrew Beckett
because he had AIDS...

650
00:46:19,220 --> 00:46:21,818
they broke the law.

651
00:46:27,018 --> 00:46:28,418
Fact:

652
00:46:31,898 --> 00:46:35,417
Andrew Beckett's performance
on the job...

653
00:46:35,418 --> 00:46:39,097
varied from competent, good...

654
00:46:39,098 --> 00:46:42,217
to oftentimes mediocre...

655
00:46:42,218 --> 00:46:46,217
to sometimes flagrantly incompetent.

656
00:46:47,616 --> 00:46:49,016
Fact:

657
00:46:50,096 --> 00:46:54,216
He claims he's the victim
of lies and deceit.

658
00:46:55,816 --> 00:46:57,096
Fact:

659
00:46:57,216 --> 00:47:00,015
It was Andrew Beckett who lied...

660
00:47:00,016 --> 00:47:04,615
going to great lengths to conceal
his disease from his employers.

661
00:47:04,615 --> 00:47:05,895
Fact:

662
00:47:06,815 --> 00:47:11,615
He was successful
in his duplicity.

663
00:47:12,295 --> 00:47:15,694
The partners at Wyant, Wheeler
did not know...

664
00:47:15,694 --> 00:47:19,694
that Andrew Beckett had AIDS
when they fired him.

665
00:47:22,494 --> 00:47:24,014
Fact:

666
00:47:25,693 --> 00:47:27,493
Andrew Beckett is dying.

667
00:47:33,693 --> 00:47:35,213
Fact:

668
00:47:36,693 --> 00:47:39,692
Andrew Beckett is angry...

669
00:47:41,092 --> 00:47:45,932
because his lifestyle,
his reckless behavior...

670
00:47:47,132 --> 00:47:49,212
has cut short his life.

671
00:47:49,212 --> 00:47:53,131
And in his anger, his rage...

672
00:47:53,131 --> 00:47:55,011
he is lashing out.

673
00:47:55,931 --> 00:47:58,411
And he wants someone to pay.

674
00:48:02,411 --> 00:48:05,130
Thank you.

675
00:48:19,329 --> 00:48:23,809
Andrew Beckett represented your company
in a lawsuit in 1990. Is that correct?

676
00:48:23,810 --> 00:48:25,529
That's correct.

677
00:48:25,530 --> 00:48:27,809
Were you pleased
with his work?

678
00:48:27,809 --> 00:48:31,128
We were satisfied
with the outcome of the litigation.

679
00:48:33,728 --> 00:48:35,128
Satisfied.

680
00:48:37,928 --> 00:48:43,328
Mr. Laird, when I approached you
about being a witness in this trial...

681
00:48:43,329 --> 00:48:46,407
you gave sworn testimony
in a deposition, is that correct?

682
00:48:46,407 --> 00:48:48,727
That's correct.

683
00:48:48,727 --> 00:48:53,927
In that deposition, you said that
you were impressed and delighted...

684
00:48:53,928 --> 00:48:56,207
with the quality
of Andrew Beckett's work.

685
00:48:56,207 --> 00:48:58,006
Do you recall saying that?

686
00:49:04,606 --> 00:49:07,926
In all honesty,
I was delighted...

687
00:49:07,927 --> 00:49:10,525
with certain aspects
of Andy's efforts.

688
00:49:11,205 --> 00:49:14,605
But in general,
I found the work to be...

689
00:49:14,605 --> 00:49:17,525
merely satisfactory.

690
00:49:23,524 --> 00:49:25,524
Do you agree...

691
00:49:27,724 --> 00:49:30,244
that a bologna sandwich
is a satisfactory meal?

692
00:49:30,244 --> 00:49:34,644
Whereas caviar
and champagne...

693
00:49:34,645 --> 00:49:38,643
roast duck and baked Alaska...

694
00:49:38,643 --> 00:49:41,043
that might be considered
a delightful meal?

695
00:49:41,044 --> 00:49:45,123
We object. These gastronomical comments
are irrelevant, Your Honor.

696
00:49:45,723 --> 00:49:47,643
They are not irrelevant.

697
00:49:47,644 --> 00:49:52,842
Your Honor, five months ago this witness
characterized Andrew Beckett as caviar.

698
00:49:52,843 --> 00:49:54,522
Now he's a bologna sandwich.

699
00:49:54,523 --> 00:49:56,842
I think the jury
is entitled to know...

700
00:49:56,842 --> 00:50:01,242
what powerful force
has caused him to change his mind.

701
00:50:02,641 --> 00:50:04,921
He hasn't changed his mind.

702
00:50:04,922 --> 00:50:07,041
He's amplified his answer.

703
00:50:07,041 --> 00:50:09,041
Objection sustained.

704
00:50:14,121 --> 00:50:15,640
All right.

705
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:23,520
Mr. Laird, explain this to me
like I'm a four-year-old, okay?

706
00:50:23,521 --> 00:50:27,519
Did Andrew Beckett
win your lawsuit for you?

707
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:29,839
Yes, we won.

708
00:50:29,839 --> 00:50:34,119
Oh, congratulations!
That must've been a very...

709
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,519
satisfactory experience.

710
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,918
"AIDS Cures Homosexuality"
Homophobia's got to go. Hey, hey!

711
00:51:04,157 --> 00:51:07,036
- Ready, Mr. Beckett?
- Get ready. Here they come.

712
00:51:07,037 --> 00:51:09,036
No rights for sodomites!

713
00:51:12,636 --> 00:51:14,956
Adam and Eve!
Not Adam and Steve!

714
00:51:14,956 --> 00:51:17,156
Thou shalt not lie
with mankind.

715
00:51:17,236 --> 00:51:20,355
Do you see this
as a gay rights issue?

716
00:51:20,356 --> 00:51:24,435
I am not political.
I just want what is fair, what is right.

717
00:51:24,436 --> 00:51:26,555
But you are gay, aren't you?

718
00:51:26,555 --> 00:51:30,435
<i>I don't see how that's
any of your business. But, yes, I am. </i>

719
00:51:32,235 --> 00:51:33,634
Totally irrelevant.

720
00:51:33,634 --> 00:51:36,754
<i>Do you think that homosexuals
deserve special treatment?</i>

721
00:51:36,754 --> 00:51:39,434
<i>- Hell, no!
- We're in Philadelphia... </i>

722
00:51:39,434 --> 00:51:43,154
<i>the City of Brotherly Love,
birthplace of freedom... </i>

723
00:51:43,155 --> 00:51:46,553
<i>where the Founding Fathers authored
the Declaration of Independence. </i>

724
00:51:46,553 --> 00:51:48,953
<i>I don't recall that
glorious document saying... </i>

725
00:51:48,954 --> 00:51:51,633
<i>anything about all straight men
are created equal. </i>

726
00:51:51,633 --> 00:51:54,153
<i>I believe it says
all men are created equal. </i>

727
00:51:54,153 --> 00:51:56,433
Gimme a goddamn break.

728
00:51:56,433 --> 00:51:59,152
<i>As far as someone being fired
from a law firm or a business... </i>

729
00:51:59,152 --> 00:52:01,352
<i>if we found that their action
was discriminatory... </i>

730
00:52:01,352 --> 00:52:03,752
<i>they'd do no business with the city. </i>

731
00:52:03,752 --> 00:52:06,432
<i>- Thank you, Mayor.
- Yo!</i>

732
00:52:06,433 --> 00:52:11,232
You're not getting a little light
in the sneakers, are you, pal?

733
00:52:20,831 --> 00:52:24,830
Yeah, I am, Filko.
I'm changing.

734
00:52:24,830 --> 00:52:27,030
I'm on the prowl.

735
00:52:27,030 --> 00:52:29,750
And I'm looking for a hunk,
not just any hunk.

736
00:52:29,750 --> 00:52:31,550
I mean a man,
a real man like you.

737
00:52:33,630 --> 00:52:37,349
You can tell everybody. You know
what we do. You wanna play sailor?

738
00:52:37,350 --> 00:52:40,549
- Remember? You're the first mate?
- That's not funny!

739
00:52:40,550 --> 00:52:43,549
Let me tell you something.
These people make me sick.

740
00:52:43,549 --> 00:52:46,269
But a law's been broken.

741
00:52:46,270 --> 00:52:47,749
You remember the law?

742
00:52:53,468 --> 00:52:55,868
At least we agree
on one thing, Joe.

743
00:52:55,869 --> 00:52:57,868
What's that, Charlie?

744
00:52:58,868 --> 00:53:01,148
Tutti-fruttis make me sick too.

745
00:53:07,547 --> 00:53:11,947
<i>Ms. Benedict, is it true you worked
for Walsh, Ulmer and Brahm... </i>

746
00:53:11,948 --> 00:53:14,747
at the same time as Walter Kenton?

747
00:53:14,747 --> 00:53:15,947
That's correct.

748
00:53:16,067 --> 00:53:18,946
At that time,
did Walter Kenton know...

749
00:53:18,947 --> 00:53:21,866
the K. S. Lesions on your face
and arms were caused by AIDS?

750
00:53:21,866 --> 00:53:25,146
Definitely.
I told all the partners.

751
00:53:25,147 --> 00:53:28,066
How did Walter Kenton treat you
after you told him you had AIDS?

752
00:53:29,265 --> 00:53:34,145
Every time he'd come in contact with me,
he'd get this look on his face.

753
00:53:34,146 --> 00:53:36,465
I refer to it
as the "Oh, God" expression.

754
00:53:36,466 --> 00:53:39,745
As in, "Oh, God,
here comes that woman with AIDS. "

755
00:53:40,545 --> 00:53:43,944
Thank you, Ms. Benedict.
No more questions, Your Honor.

756
00:53:43,944 --> 00:53:47,864
Ms. Benedict,
how did you contract the AIDS virus?

757
00:53:47,865 --> 00:53:51,864
Through a transfusion. I lost a lot of
blood giving birth to my second child.

758
00:53:51,865 --> 00:53:54,944
So, in your case
there was no behavior on your part...

759
00:53:54,944 --> 00:53:57,543
which caused you to be
infected with the virus.

760
00:53:57,543 --> 00:54:00,863
It was something you were unable
to avoid. Isn't that correct?

761
00:54:03,063 --> 00:54:04,263
I guess.

762
00:54:09,862 --> 00:54:11,142
Thank you.

763
00:54:11,142 --> 00:54:13,342
But I don't
consider myself...

764
00:54:13,342 --> 00:54:16,142
any different from anyone else
with this disease.

765
00:54:16,142 --> 00:54:21,461
I'm not guilty. I'm not innocent.
I'm just trying to survive.

766
00:54:21,462 --> 00:54:22,781
Thank you, Ms. Benedict.

767
00:54:23,381 --> 00:54:25,781
No further questions
at this time, Your Honor.

768
00:54:27,661 --> 00:54:29,781
You may step down, Mrs. Benedict.

769
00:54:32,181 --> 00:54:34,780
Beyond noticing
the marks on his face...

770
00:54:34,780 --> 00:54:38,180
were there other things
about his appearance, Miss Burton...

771
00:54:38,180 --> 00:54:42,260
that made you suspect
that Andrew had AIDS?

772
00:54:42,261 --> 00:54:45,580
He was getting thinner,
and he seemed very tired sometimes.

773
00:54:45,581 --> 00:54:49,379
But he was working so hard.
Still, I felt something was wrong.

774
00:54:49,379 --> 00:54:54,259
And I can't believe they're pretending
that they didn't notice anything.

775
00:54:54,260 --> 00:54:56,179
Objection.

776
00:54:56,179 --> 00:54:58,379
Just answer the question, please.

777
00:54:58,379 --> 00:55:01,578
Have you ever felt discriminated against
at Wyant, Wheeler?

778
00:55:04,778 --> 00:55:05,978
Well, yes.

779
00:55:06,058 --> 00:55:08,058
- In what way?
- Well...

780
00:55:08,058 --> 00:55:10,978
Mr. Wheeler's secretary, Lydia...

781
00:55:10,978 --> 00:55:14,257
said that Mr. Wheeler
had a problem with my earrings.

782
00:55:14,258 --> 00:55:17,977
- Really?
- Apparently Mr. Wheeler felt...

783
00:55:17,977 --> 00:55:21,057
that they were too...
"ethnic" is the word she used.

784
00:55:21,058 --> 00:55:23,657
She told me he said
he would like it...

785
00:55:23,657 --> 00:55:26,176
if I wore something
a little less garish...

786
00:55:26,176 --> 00:55:30,376
a little smaller and more American.

787
00:55:31,176 --> 00:55:32,376
What'd you say?

788
00:55:32,376 --> 00:55:35,376
I said, "My earrings are American.

789
00:55:35,376 --> 00:55:38,176
They're African-American. "

790
00:55:40,975 --> 00:55:43,175
Let's have order, please.

791
00:55:43,176 --> 00:55:44,855
Thank you. No more questions.

792
00:55:44,855 --> 00:55:46,775
Ms. Burton...

793
00:55:46,775 --> 00:55:50,375
weren't you recently promoted?

794
00:55:51,455 --> 00:55:53,454
Yes. I'm in charge
of the paralegal department.

795
00:55:56,574 --> 00:56:00,694
Congratulations on your unfettered
ascendancy at Wyant, Wheeler.

796
00:56:00,695 --> 00:56:03,774
I don't know if I'd go so far
as to call it unfettered.

797
00:56:03,774 --> 00:56:07,293
I don't understand.
How do you explain...

798
00:56:07,294 --> 00:56:10,973
the promotion of an obviously...

799
00:56:10,973 --> 00:56:13,493
intelligent, articulate...

800
00:56:13,493 --> 00:56:17,773
qualified
African-American woman...

801
00:56:17,774 --> 00:56:19,772
in a firm which practices
discrimination...

802
00:56:19,772 --> 00:56:24,892
as wantonly and consistently
as you and Mr. Beckett claim?

803
00:56:26,492 --> 00:56:29,492
- I can't explain it.
- Could it be...

804
00:56:29,492 --> 00:56:32,091
that these...

805
00:56:32,091 --> 00:56:34,771
instances of discrimination...

806
00:56:34,771 --> 00:56:37,171
are in fact misunderstandings...

807
00:56:37,172 --> 00:56:40,371
that have been blown
completely out of proportion?

808
00:56:42,971 --> 00:56:47,170
I think counsel tends to
oversimplify the issue somewhat.

809
00:56:47,171 --> 00:56:49,770
Thank you, Miss Burton,
I'll...

810
00:56:49,770 --> 00:56:52,490
take that note
under consideration.

811
00:57:12,008 --> 00:57:13,928
- How's the trial going?
- Excuse me?

812
00:57:13,928 --> 00:57:16,528
It's a great case. I saw you on
television. I'm a law student at Penn.

813
00:57:16,528 --> 00:57:18,728
- How you doing?
- All right. How are you?

814
00:57:18,728 --> 00:57:20,528
- Saw me on TV?
- Yeah.

815
00:57:20,529 --> 00:57:22,408
It's a good school, Penn.
What year are you in?

816
00:57:22,408 --> 00:57:26,527
Second. Listen,
I just want to tell you...

817
00:57:26,527 --> 00:57:29,327
this case,
it's tremendously important.

818
00:57:29,328 --> 00:57:32,247
I wanted to let you know
I think you're doing a fantastic job.

819
00:57:32,248 --> 00:57:36,326
- Hey.
- Thank you. All right.

820
00:57:36,327 --> 00:57:38,126
When you graduate,
you give me a call.

821
00:57:38,246 --> 00:57:41,446
Okay. All right.
Thank you very much.

822
00:57:41,447 --> 00:57:44,326
- Listen, Joe?
- Yeah?

823
00:57:44,326 --> 00:57:47,846
Would you like to have a drink? I just
finished a game and could use a beer.

824
00:57:47,847 --> 00:57:50,125
Ah, no, I can't.
My wife is...

825
00:57:52,245 --> 00:57:54,325
I don't pick up people
in drugstores every day.

826
00:58:04,124 --> 00:58:06,524
- You think I'm gay?
- Aren't you?

827
00:58:07,324 --> 00:58:10,044
What's the matter?
I look gay to you?

828
00:58:10,044 --> 00:58:11,444
Do I look gay to you?

829
00:58:13,524 --> 00:58:16,843
- Relax.
- I ought to kick your faggoty ass.

830
00:58:16,844 --> 00:58:18,443
Take it as a compliment.
Geez!

831
00:58:22,323 --> 00:58:27,523
That is exactly the kind of bullshit
that makes people hate your...

832
00:58:27,524 --> 00:58:29,242
faggoty ass.

833
00:58:29,242 --> 00:58:31,362
You want to try
and kick my ass, Joe?

834
00:58:31,363 --> 00:58:34,242
- Asshole.
- No, you're the asshole, buddy!

835
00:58:42,641 --> 00:58:44,161
<i>Please continue, Ms. O'Hara. </i>

836
00:58:44,161 --> 00:58:48,641
We were going crazy looking
for this complaint.

837
00:58:48,642 --> 00:58:50,441
I felt like I was
in the twilight zone.

838
00:58:50,561 --> 00:58:54,160
Mr. Beckett was screaming
at everybody and he just...

839
00:58:54,161 --> 00:58:56,160
He looked so freaky.

840
00:58:56,161 --> 00:58:59,160
Mr. Kenton kept saying,
"You lost the Highline complaint?"

841
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,760
And he called Mr. Wheeler,
and all of a sudden...

842
00:59:02,761 --> 00:59:06,040
Jamey comes in with the complaint
in his hand.

843
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:11,159
- He says, "It was in central files. "
- Central files?

844
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:16,639
Central files is a place where paperwork
is sent when cases are closed.

845
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,558
Jamey ran it over
to the court just in time...

846
00:59:18,558 --> 00:59:23,836
and everybody just stood
there completely wasted.

847
00:59:24,436 --> 00:59:25,836
And Mr...

848
00:59:27,155 --> 00:59:29,434
And Mr. Beckett
just kept saying...

849
00:59:29,554 --> 00:59:34,073
"I'm sorry. Sorry.
I don't understand this. "

850
00:59:34,153 --> 00:59:36,952
Thank you, Ms. O'Hara.

851
00:59:37,152 --> 00:59:39,151
No further questions
at this time, Your Honor.

852
00:59:39,271 --> 00:59:41,950
All right. Mr. Miller.

853
00:59:48,547 --> 00:59:50,347
- May I?
- Certainly.

854
00:59:59,943 --> 01:00:01,343
Thank you.

855
01:00:02,342 --> 01:00:05,141
- You okay?
- Yes.

856
01:00:05,142 --> 01:00:07,261
- You want a glass of water?
- No.

857
01:00:11,539 --> 01:00:12,939
Was Andy a good boss?

858
01:00:12,939 --> 01:00:15,258
Yes.

859
01:00:16,657 --> 01:00:18,537
He was very sweet.

860
01:00:20,656 --> 01:00:24,654
How would you characterize
his work as an attorney?

861
01:00:25,934 --> 01:00:28,453
How would I know?
I just worked for him.

862
01:00:31,852 --> 01:00:35,051
Excuse me, Your Honor,
but is this for the record?

863
01:00:35,571 --> 01:00:38,969
Mr. Miller, perhaps you should
return to counsel's table.

864
01:00:38,970 --> 01:00:40,369
Yes, sir.

865
01:00:51,565 --> 01:00:54,444
- Miss O'Hara?
- Yes?

866
01:00:54,445 --> 01:00:55,843
Were you aware...

867
01:00:55,963 --> 01:00:59,842
at any time of any problems
that the senior partners had...

868
01:00:59,843 --> 01:01:03,760
with the quality of Andrew's work
prior to this missing file episode?

869
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,159
No, I wasn't.

870
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:10,758
Thank you.
No more questions, Your Honor.

871
01:01:15,636 --> 01:01:20,035
Is Andrew Becket the kind of lawyer
who misplaces crucial documents?

872
01:01:20,036 --> 01:01:23,633
Not to my knowledge. No.

873
01:01:23,633 --> 01:01:28,352
If you wanted to make a lawyer look
incompetent, would this be a good way?

874
01:01:28,353 --> 01:01:31,950
Hiding an important document
maybe for a few hours...

875
01:01:31,951 --> 01:01:35,949
and then making it look like
the responsible lawyer misplaced it?

876
01:01:35,950 --> 01:01:39,468
Why would Mr. Wheeler and the others
behave so outrageously?

877
01:01:39,468 --> 01:01:41,347
Because they found out
Andy was sick?

878
01:01:41,348 --> 01:01:43,866
- He's not answering the question.
- Perhaps.

879
01:01:43,866 --> 01:01:48,744
We've had lawyers with heart attacks,
ulcers, prostate cancer, leukemia!

880
01:01:48,745 --> 01:01:50,264
No one sandbagged them.

881
01:01:50,264 --> 01:01:55,262
Did you have something to do with this
file being lost accidentally on purpose?

882
01:01:55,263 --> 01:01:56,741
- Objection.
- I'll rephrase.

883
01:01:56,861 --> 01:02:00,260
Did you have anything
to do with this file being misplaced?

884
01:02:00,261 --> 01:02:01,860
Absolutely not.

885
01:02:01,860 --> 01:02:03,539
Are you a homosexual?

886
01:02:03,539 --> 01:02:08,337
- What?
- Answer the question! Are you a homo?

887
01:02:08,338 --> 01:02:09,657
A faggot? A punk?

888
01:02:09,658 --> 01:02:12,256
A queen, pillow biter, fairy?

889
01:02:12,256 --> 01:02:16,254
Bootie snatcher, rump roaster?
Are you gay?

890
01:02:16,255 --> 01:02:18,334
- Objection!
- Order!

891
01:02:18,334 --> 01:02:21,932
Where did this come from? Suddenly
counsel's attacking his own witness?

892
01:02:21,933 --> 01:02:27,530
Mr. Collins' sexual orientation
has nothing to do with this case.

893
01:02:27,531 --> 01:02:29,530
Please have a seat, Miss Conine.

894
01:02:33,848 --> 01:02:36,247
Would you approach the bench,
Mr. Miller?

895
01:02:47,763 --> 01:02:50,362
Could you kindly
share with me...

896
01:02:50,362 --> 01:02:52,641
exactly what's going on
inside your head...

897
01:02:52,642 --> 01:02:56,240
because at this moment,
I don't have a clue.

898
01:02:59,839 --> 01:03:01,238
Your Honor...

899
01:03:03,438 --> 01:03:06,237
everybody in this courtroom...

900
01:03:06,238 --> 01:03:10,035
is thinking about sexual orientation,
sexual preference...

901
01:03:10,036 --> 01:03:12,634
whatever you want to call it.

902
01:03:12,634 --> 01:03:16,953
Who does what to whom
and how they do it.

903
01:03:16,954 --> 01:03:20,032
They're looking at Andrew Beckett.
They're thinking about it.

904
01:03:20,032 --> 01:03:23,950
They're looking at Mr. Wheeler,
Miss Conine, even you, Your Honor.

905
01:03:23,951 --> 01:03:27,149
They're wondering about it.

906
01:03:27,149 --> 01:03:30,428
Trust me, I know they're looking at me
and thinking about it.

907
01:03:30,429 --> 01:03:35,266
So let's get it out in the open.
Let's get it out of the closet.

908
01:03:35,267 --> 01:03:38,545
Because this case is not
just about AIDS, is it?

909
01:03:38,545 --> 01:03:41,344
So let's talk about what
this case is really all about:

910
01:03:41,344 --> 01:03:43,743
The general public's hatred,
our loathing...

911
01:03:43,743 --> 01:03:48,461
our fear of homosexuals...

912
01:03:48,462 --> 01:03:51,140
and how that climate
of hatred and fear...

913
01:03:51,141 --> 01:03:55,259
translated into the firing
of this particular homosexual...

914
01:03:55,260 --> 01:03:57,938
my client, Andrew Beckett.

915
01:04:00,137 --> 01:04:02,137
Please have a seat, Mr. Miller.

916
01:04:07,535 --> 01:04:09,454
Very good.

917
01:04:09,534 --> 01:04:11,853
In this courtroom, Mr. Miller,
justice is blind...

918
01:04:11,853 --> 01:04:16,731
to matters of race, creed, color...

919
01:04:16,732 --> 01:04:19,450
religion and sexual orientation.

920
01:04:19,451 --> 01:04:21,849
With all due respect,
Your Honor...

921
01:04:24,329 --> 01:04:27,527
we don't live in this courtroom,
though, do we?

922
01:04:27,527 --> 01:04:30,526
No, we don't.

923
01:04:30,526 --> 01:04:32,246
However, as regards to this witness...

924
01:04:32,246 --> 01:04:35,365
I'm going to sustain
the defense's objection.

925
01:04:37,244 --> 01:04:41,762
How many weeks would you be out to sea
without stopping at port?

926
01:04:41,763 --> 01:04:46,041
Oh, anywhere from two weeks
to several months.

927
01:04:46,042 --> 01:04:47,960
Any women on board?

928
01:04:47,961 --> 01:04:50,559
Not when I was in the navy.

929
01:04:52,838 --> 01:04:56,357
So, during these long voyages...

930
01:04:56,357 --> 01:05:00,356
months at a time out to sea,
no women in sight...

931
01:05:00,357 --> 01:05:04,554
hundreds of hardworking, robust
young men in the prime of their lives...

932
01:05:04,555 --> 01:05:08,033
at the peak of their natural appetites
and desires...

933
01:05:08,033 --> 01:05:12,031
their God-given hormonal instincts,
anything going on?

934
01:05:12,951 --> 01:05:14,631
Going on? Like what?

935
01:05:14,631 --> 01:05:18,749
Like two sailors down below
making flippy-flop.

936
01:05:18,750 --> 01:05:22,228
- Objection.
- Mr. Miller.

937
01:05:22,229 --> 01:05:24,147
We had one guy like that.

938
01:05:24,147 --> 01:05:26,546
You haven't ruled on my objection,
Your Honor.

939
01:05:26,547 --> 01:05:28,346
Go on, Mr. Miller.

940
01:05:28,347 --> 01:05:32,024
You had one guy like that.
You mean a homosexual?

941
01:05:32,025 --> 01:05:36,263
He strutted around quarters naked
trying to get everybody to notice him.

942
01:05:36,263 --> 01:05:38,342
Made everyone sick.

943
01:05:38,342 --> 01:05:40,341
He was destroying our morale.

944
01:05:40,342 --> 01:05:43,940
So we let him know this kind
of behavior was not acceptable.

945
01:05:43,941 --> 01:05:46,259
How'd you do that?
Wrote him a letter?

946
01:05:46,259 --> 01:05:49,258
We stuck his head in a latrine
after ten of us had used it.

947
01:05:49,258 --> 01:05:53,137
- You taught him a lesson, didn't you?
- Yes, we did.

948
01:05:53,138 --> 01:05:55,336
- Like firing Andrew taught him a lesson.
- Objection.

949
01:05:55,336 --> 01:05:59,534
I withdraw. You were aware
when you worked with Melissa Benedict...

950
01:05:59,534 --> 01:06:01,054
that she had AIDS, correct?

951
01:06:01,054 --> 01:06:03,133
- She didn't try to conceal it.
- So you are aware...

952
01:06:03,133 --> 01:06:06,852
of the difference between
a bruise and a lesion. Correct?

953
01:06:06,853 --> 01:06:10,131
Beckett told me he had been hit
by a racket ball, and I believed him.

954
01:06:10,131 --> 01:06:14,649
Did you avoid contact with Ms. Benedict
after you found out she had AIDS?

955
01:06:14,650 --> 01:06:19,647
She says and I quote, that you were
repulsed by her. Is that correct?

956
01:06:20,447 --> 01:06:22,526
I felt,
and I still feel nothing...

957
01:06:22,526 --> 01:06:26,645
but the deepest sympathy and compassion
for people like Melissa...

958
01:06:26,646 --> 01:06:30,523
who contracted this terrible disease
through no fault of their own.

959
01:06:44,358 --> 01:06:45,758
Don't move now.

960
01:06:51,156 --> 01:06:52,635
Okay.

961
01:07:06,230 --> 01:07:09,429
Boy. It's not going through.

962
01:07:11,749 --> 01:07:13,948
We may have to flush it out again.

963
01:07:20,146 --> 01:07:22,225
The vein's closed.

964
01:07:23,144 --> 01:07:26,143
We've got to call Barbara.

965
01:07:26,144 --> 01:07:29,622
- Nurse Ratchett.
- Wait a minute.

966
01:07:29,622 --> 01:07:31,541
Yeah. Tell her to come over.

967
01:07:37,019 --> 01:07:40,858
Look, I've... There's so much stuff
that I need to get done.

968
01:07:42,857 --> 01:07:46,656
Can we... Can we just skip
the treatment for tonight?

969
01:07:46,656 --> 01:07:50,735
No. We are not
skipping this treatment.

970
01:07:50,736 --> 01:07:55,053
It's my arm, and it's my treatment,
and I say skip it.

971
01:08:01,331 --> 01:08:02,730
Well...

972
01:08:05,649 --> 01:08:07,129
You know something?

973
01:08:08,328 --> 01:08:10,527
That stuff is saving your life.

974
01:08:10,527 --> 01:08:12,127
What's the matter with you tonight?

975
01:08:13,047 --> 01:08:14,446
Close the law book.

976
01:08:14,526 --> 01:08:16,525
Will you just...

977
01:08:27,121 --> 01:08:29,241
The least you can do...

978
01:08:29,242 --> 01:08:31,840
is look at me...

979
01:08:31,841 --> 01:08:34,039
and give me a little
of your time, man.

980
01:08:34,039 --> 01:08:35,758
Got it?

981
01:08:36,838 --> 01:08:39,957
You are worried...

982
01:08:39,957 --> 01:08:43,636
we don't have very much time left,
now, aren't you?

983
01:08:45,155 --> 01:08:47,354
No. No.

984
01:09:01,749 --> 01:09:04,748
I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do.

985
01:09:04,749 --> 01:09:08,347
I'm going to start planning
my memorial service.

986
01:09:08,347 --> 01:09:11,146
I'm going to start preparing
for the inevitable.

987
01:09:16,744 --> 01:09:19,023
Maybe you should
think about it.

988
01:09:37,336 --> 01:09:38,856
No.

989
01:09:50,652 --> 01:09:52,251
I've got a better idea.

990
01:10:06,646 --> 01:10:09,725
- Hi, Andrew. Hi, Miguel.
- Hey, hey!

991
01:10:09,726 --> 01:10:12,524
- Oh, Joe Miller, Counselor.
- My wife, Lisa.

992
01:10:12,524 --> 01:10:15,643
- Are you Lisa? Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

993
01:10:15,643 --> 01:10:19,121
- You look wonderful!
- Maria, Lisa.

994
01:10:19,122 --> 01:10:22,840
- Miguel's sister, Maria.
- How are you, Maria?

995
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,439
- Do you care for something to drink?
- I'll take care ofJoe.

996
01:10:27,718 --> 01:10:31,037
You're looking, uh, alive tonight!

997
01:10:31,038 --> 01:10:33,836
I had a blood transfusion,
and I feel great.

998
01:10:33,836 --> 01:10:38,554
So, you like it?
I'm a lawsuit.

999
01:10:38,555 --> 01:10:40,354
You get it?
I'm a lawsuit.

1000
01:10:40,355 --> 01:10:43,233
- It's not bad.
- Lawsuit.

1001
01:10:43,233 --> 01:10:45,232
- What are you drinking?
- Wine is good.

1002
01:10:45,232 --> 01:10:47,151
Can I have some
of the red, please?

1003
01:10:49,750 --> 01:10:53,549
We've got to get to this Q and A
sometime tonight, you know?

1004
01:10:53,550 --> 01:10:55,428
Sure. Just one problem.

1005
01:10:55,428 --> 01:10:58,147
- I'm at a party right now.
- Fine. Whatever.

1006
01:10:58,147 --> 01:11:00,746
- We'll get to it, just later.
- Thank you.

1007
01:11:00,746 --> 01:11:03,545
Hi, Joe Miller.

1008
01:11:03,546 --> 01:11:05,825
- Do I know you?
- Mona Lisa.

1009
01:11:05,826 --> 01:11:10,023
Ah. Uh, lawsuit.

1010
01:11:10,024 --> 01:11:11,423
Nice. Have fun.

1011
01:11:21,339 --> 01:11:23,338
<i>Mr. Sandman</i>

1012
01:11:23,338 --> 01:11:25,418
<i>Bring me a dream</i>

1013
01:11:25,418 --> 01:11:29,216
<i>Make him the cutest boy
that I've ever seen</i>

1014
01:11:29,217 --> 01:11:32,935
<i>Give him two lips
like roses in clover</i>

1015
01:11:32,935 --> 01:11:36,334
<i>Then tell me that
my lonesome nights are over</i>

1016
01:11:36,335 --> 01:11:38,133
<i>Mr. Sandman</i>

1017
01:11:38,133 --> 01:11:40,252
<i>I'm so alone</i>

1018
01:11:40,332 --> 01:11:43,051
<i>Don't have a boyfriend
to call my own</i>

1019
01:11:43,052 --> 01:11:47,130
<i>Oh, won't you please turn on
your magic beam</i>

1020
01:11:47,131 --> 01:11:50,928
<i>Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream</i>

1021
01:11:50,929 --> 01:11:54,447
<i>It is hard to imagine</i>

1022
01:11:54,448 --> 01:11:59,245
<i>Oh, that nothing at all</i>

1023
01:11:59,246 --> 01:12:01,924
<i>Could be so exciting</i>

1024
01:12:06,643 --> 01:12:08,522
<i>And so much fun</i>

1025
01:12:09,642 --> 01:12:12,241
<i>Oh, heaven</i>

1026
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,319
<i>Is a place</i>

1027
01:12:20,238 --> 01:12:25,116
<i>Where nothing
Oh, nothing</i>

1028
01:12:25,117 --> 01:12:30,034
<i>Can go wrong</i>

1029
01:12:50,547 --> 01:12:52,426
Thank you.

1030
01:12:57,545 --> 01:12:59,824
- Thank you.
- Sure.

1031
01:13:01,423 --> 01:13:04,222
Congratulations, Counselor.

1032
01:13:04,222 --> 01:13:05,622
Congratulations?

1033
01:13:05,622 --> 01:13:10,340
You've survived what I assume to be
your first gay party intact.

1034
01:13:15,618 --> 01:13:17,018
Let me tell you something.

1035
01:13:17,018 --> 01:13:20,136
When you're brought up the way
most people are in this country...

1036
01:13:20,136 --> 01:13:23,415
there's not a whole lot of discussion
about homosexuality...

1037
01:13:23,416 --> 01:13:27,214
or what do you call it,
alternate lifestyles.

1038
01:13:27,214 --> 01:13:30,333
As a kid you're taught
that queers are funny, queers are weird.

1039
01:13:30,334 --> 01:13:33,812
Queers dress up like their mother,
that they're afraid to fight...

1040
01:13:33,812 --> 01:13:36,251
that they're a danger
to little kids.

1041
01:13:36,251 --> 01:13:38,930
That all they want to do
is get into your pants.

1042
01:13:42,049 --> 01:13:46,127
That pretty much sums up the general
thinking, if you want to know the truth.

1043
01:13:47,846 --> 01:13:50,046
- Thank you for sharing that with me.
- You're very welcome.

1044
01:13:50,046 --> 01:13:53,245
Let's go over this testimony.
We've got a big day on Monday.

1045
01:13:55,924 --> 01:13:58,723
Okay. First I'll ask you...

1046
01:13:58,723 --> 01:14:00,922
"Can you describe
the circumstances in which...

1047
01:14:00,922 --> 01:14:04,041
you joined the firm Wyant, Wheeler,
Hellerman, Tetlow and Brown?"

1048
01:14:04,041 --> 01:14:05,440
Miller?

1049
01:14:07,639 --> 01:14:10,438
Do you ever pray?

1050
01:14:12,038 --> 01:14:15,637
Andrew, that is not
the answer to the question.

1051
01:14:15,638 --> 01:14:17,236
But, yes, I pray.

1052
01:14:18,116 --> 01:14:21,714
- What do you pray for?
- What do you mean?

1053
01:14:21,715 --> 01:14:24,713
I pray that... I don't know!

1054
01:14:24,713 --> 01:14:29,711
I pray my baby is healthy.
I pray my wife made it through delivery.

1055
01:14:29,712 --> 01:14:31,511
I pray the Phillies
win the pennant.

1056
01:14:33,430 --> 01:14:35,709
Now, can we go through
these questions?

1057
01:14:35,709 --> 01:14:38,748
Number one: "Can you describe
the circumstances in which...

1058
01:14:38,748 --> 01:14:42,547
you joined the firm Wyant, Wheeler,
Hellerman, Tetlow and Brown?"

1059
01:14:42,548 --> 01:14:44,026
Can you do that for me?

1060
01:14:44,146 --> 01:14:47,945
There's a possibility I won't be around
to see the end of this trial.

1061
01:14:49,025 --> 01:14:51,024
Yes, I've considered that.

1062
01:14:51,025 --> 01:14:56,422
I've made some provisions
in my will for some charities.

1063
01:14:57,422 --> 01:15:00,021
Miguel will need a lawyer.
I know it's not your area.

1064
01:15:00,740 --> 01:15:02,620
I know a good probate lawyer.

1065
01:15:02,620 --> 01:15:05,938
- Thank you.
- You're welcome. Now...

1066
01:15:05,939 --> 01:15:09,217
"Can you describe
the circumstances in which...

1067
01:15:09,218 --> 01:15:12,536
you joined the firm Wyant, Wheeler,
Hellerman, Tetlow and Brown?"

1068
01:15:18,334 --> 01:15:21,013
Do you mind this music?
Do you like opera?

1069
01:15:24,812 --> 01:15:28,810
I am not that familiar
with opera, Andrew.

1070
01:15:31,209 --> 01:15:34,208
Oh, this is my favorite aria.

1071
01:15:34,808 --> 01:15:36,927
It's Maria Callas.

1072
01:15:38,727 --> 01:15:40,726
<i>It's Andrea Chenier. </i>

1073
01:15:43,045 --> 01:15:45,524
Umberto Giordano.

1074
01:15:48,323 --> 01:15:50,243
This is Madeleine.

1075
01:15:52,322 --> 01:15:55,121
She's saying how...

1076
01:15:55,121 --> 01:16:00,039
during the French Revolution
the mob set fire to her house.

1077
01:16:02,318 --> 01:16:05,637
And her mother died,
saving her.

1078
01:16:05,637 --> 01:16:07,716
She says, "Look!

1079
01:16:07,716 --> 01:16:11,315
The place that cradled me
is burning.

1080
01:16:15,314 --> 01:16:17,233
I am alone. "

1081
01:16:24,710 --> 01:16:28,429
Do you hear the heartache
in her voice?

1082
01:16:29,109 --> 01:16:30,508
Can you feel it?

1083
01:16:38,145 --> 01:16:43,024
Now, in come the strings,
and it changes everything.

1084
01:16:43,025 --> 01:16:45,743
It's like the music...
it fills with a hope.

1085
01:16:49,941 --> 01:16:51,940
And that'll change again.
Listen.

1086
01:16:56,019 --> 01:16:57,538
Listen.

1087
01:17:01,137 --> 01:17:04,536
"I bring sorrow
to those who love me. "

1088
01:17:04,536 --> 01:17:07,615
Oh, that single cello!

1089
01:17:16,532 --> 01:17:20,810
"It was during this sorrow
that love came to me.

1090
01:17:28,207 --> 01:17:31,006
A voice filled with harmony.

1091
01:17:33,925 --> 01:17:36,205
It said, "Live still.

1092
01:17:39,723 --> 01:17:41,643
I am life.

1093
01:17:44,442 --> 01:17:46,921
Heaven is in your eyes.

1094
01:18:28,426 --> 01:18:33,304
It's everything around you.
It's the blood and the mud.

1095
01:18:33,305 --> 01:18:35,103
I am divine!

1096
01:18:36,703 --> 01:18:38,702
I am oblivion.

1097
01:18:41,501 --> 01:18:43,420
I am the god...

1098
01:18:46,739 --> 01:18:49,738
that comes down from the heavens
to the earth...

1099
01:18:49,738 --> 01:18:53,337
and makes of the earth a heaven.

1100
01:19:04,733 --> 01:19:07,332
I am love.

1101
01:19:09,011 --> 01:19:10,931
I am love. "

1102
01:19:29,724 --> 01:19:31,923
Geez, I better get out of here.

1103
01:19:34,122 --> 01:19:37,601
Lisa's...
I told her that, you know...

1104
01:19:40,440 --> 01:19:43,239
I'll look over the Q and A.

1105
01:19:43,239 --> 01:19:45,238
No, you're ready.

1106
01:20:21,305 --> 01:20:22,705
Jesus.

1107
01:20:48,736 --> 01:20:50,215
God.

1108
01:21:28,201 --> 01:21:29,601
Yes, baby.

1109
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,120
Oh, I love you, little Larice.

1110
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:14,360
Place your left hand on the Bible.
Raise your right hand.

1111
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:17,640
Do you swear to tell the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, so help you God?

1112
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:19,560
- I do.
- Please be seated.

1113
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:29,040
Andrew, can you describe
the circumstances in which...

1114
01:23:29,041 --> 01:23:33,360
you joined the firm Wyant, Wheeler,
Hellerman, Tetlow and Brown?

1115
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:39,040
Wyant, Wheeler
aggressively recruited me.

1116
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:42,440
They were the most
prestigious firm in Philadelphia...

1117
01:23:42,441 --> 01:23:44,280
full of opportunity.

1118
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:46,960
And I was impressed
with the partners.

1119
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:50,480
- Including Charles Wheeler?
- Particularly Charles.

1120
01:23:50,480 --> 01:23:52,480
What impressed you about him?

1121
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:56,560
He was the kind of lawyer
I thought I wanted to be.

1122
01:23:56,561 --> 01:23:58,480
What kind of lawyer is that?

1123
01:23:58,481 --> 01:24:01,760
Possessed of an encyclopedic
knowledge of the law...

1124
01:24:01,761 --> 01:24:05,480
a razor-sharp litigator,
genuine leader.

1125
01:24:05,481 --> 01:24:09,360
Gifted at bringing out
the very best in others...

1126
01:24:09,361 --> 01:24:13,360
and an awesome ability
to illuminate...

1127
01:24:13,361 --> 01:24:18,480
the most complex of legal concepts
to a colleague, a courtroom...

1128
01:24:18,481 --> 01:24:21,280
to the man in the street.

1129
01:24:21,281 --> 01:24:25,960
The kind of person who can play
three sets of tennis...

1130
01:24:25,961 --> 01:24:27,760
but doesn't sweat.

1131
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:31,880
Underneath an elegant surface...

1132
01:24:31,881 --> 01:24:34,080
he has an adventurous spirit.

1133
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:39,160
In the years
you worked at Wyant, Wheeler...

1134
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:41,760
did you ever tell Charles Wheeler
you were gay?

1135
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:43,680
No, I didn't.

1136
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:45,480
Why not?

1137
01:24:45,481 --> 01:24:47,680
You don't bring your personal life
into a law firm.

1138
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:50,400
You're not supposed to have
a personal life, really.

1139
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:55,400
Anyway, I did plan
to tell Charles eventually.

1140
01:24:55,401 --> 01:24:57,600
But then something happened...

1141
01:24:57,600 --> 01:24:59,280
at the racket club...

1142
01:24:59,281 --> 01:25:02,080
about three years ago.

1143
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,480
<i>Somebody started telling
some jokes. </i>

1144
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:14,080
What do you call a woman who has
P. M. S. and E. S. P. at the same time?

1145
01:25:14,081 --> 01:25:16,680
I don't know!
What do you call her?

1146
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:19,200
A bitch who knows everything.

1147
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:22,200
Sounds like someone I know.

1148
01:25:22,201 --> 01:25:25,600
Hey, Walter, how does a faggot
fake an orgasm?

1149
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:28,000
He throws a quart of hot yogurt
on your back!

1150
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:33,080
That reminds me...

1151
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:34,600
<i>How'd that make you feel?</i>

1152
01:25:34,601 --> 01:25:35,800
Relieved...

1153
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,800
that I never told him
I was gay.

1154
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,200
Just very relieved.

1155
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:46,200
All right.

1156
01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:48,400
Are you a good lawyer, Andrew?

1157
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,720
I'm an excellent lawyer.

1158
01:25:50,721 --> 01:25:53,320
What makes you
an excellent lawyer?

1159
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:55,000
I love the law.

1160
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:57,400
I know the law.

1161
01:25:57,400 --> 01:25:59,400
I excel at practicing.

1162
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,000
What do you love
about the law, Andrew?

1163
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,800
I... Many things.

1164
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:09,520
What I love the most?

1165
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:11,720
Yes.

1166
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:14,720
Is that
every now and again...

1167
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,920
not often, but occasionally...

1168
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:21,520
you get to be a part of...

1169
01:26:21,521 --> 01:26:25,200
justice being done.

1170
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:28,800
That really is...

1171
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:31,920
quite a thrill
when that happens.

1172
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:39,520
Thank you, Andrew.

1173
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:45,520
You said earlier...

1174
01:26:45,521 --> 01:26:51,240
you aspire to be the kind of person
who had an adventurous spirit, correct?

1175
01:26:51,241 --> 01:26:52,840
Something like that.

1176
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:55,040
Do you take risks?

1177
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:58,520
In my work, yes.
Calculated risks.

1178
01:26:58,521 --> 01:27:00,119
You have to.

1179
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,839
Did your doctor ever tell you
to reduce stress?

1180
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,919
That long hours
and stressful working conditions...

1181
01:27:10,919 --> 01:27:13,039
might damage the immune system...

1182
01:27:13,039 --> 01:27:16,519
and speed up your illness?

1183
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:21,039
My doctor mentioned the impact AIDS...
Excuse me.

1184
01:27:22,319 --> 01:27:27,119
My doctor mentioned the impact
stress could have on the immune system.

1185
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:31,439
Have you ever been
to the Stallion Showcase Cinema...

1186
01:27:31,440 --> 01:27:33,239
on 21st Street?

1187
01:27:44,239 --> 01:27:46,159
I've been to...

1188
01:27:47,559 --> 01:27:48,959
that...

1189
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:52,159
I've been to that theater...

1190
01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:56,239
three times in my life.

1191
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:58,359
What kind of movies
do they show there?

1192
01:27:58,359 --> 01:28:00,759
Gay movies.

1193
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:03,039
Gay pornographic movies?

1194
01:28:03,039 --> 01:28:04,959
Yes.

1195
01:28:05,559 --> 01:28:07,159
Objection, Your Honor.

1196
01:28:08,159 --> 01:28:12,359
Your Honor, this line of questioning
is vital to the issue of credibility.

1197
01:28:13,639 --> 01:28:19,359
Let's see where this is going.
Continue, Counselor.

1198
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:23,959
Do men have sex with each other
in that theater?

1199
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,639
Some men.

1200
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:29,759
Have you ever had sex with anyone
in that theater?

1201
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:31,639
<i>I'm Robert. </i>

1202
01:28:31,639 --> 01:28:33,759
Andy.

1203
01:28:33,759 --> 01:28:35,639
Yes.

1204
01:28:35,639 --> 01:28:37,559
Once.

1205
01:28:37,639 --> 01:28:43,159
When? Approximately what year
did that event take place?

1206
01:28:44,959 --> 01:28:49,279
I guess it was 1984.

1207
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:51,959
'84, '85.

1208
01:28:51,959 --> 01:28:55,279
Were you aware in 1984, '85...

1209
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:58,479
that there was a fatal disease
out there called AIDS...

1210
01:28:58,480 --> 01:29:02,359
and that you could contract it
through sexual activity?

1211
01:29:03,559 --> 01:29:06,359
I'd heard of some...
I'd heard of a thing.

1212
01:29:09,679 --> 01:29:12,759
The gay plague, the gay cancer.

1213
01:29:12,759 --> 01:29:16,759
We didn't know
how you could get it...

1214
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:18,479
or that it killed you.

1215
01:29:21,079 --> 01:29:23,079
Do you need a break, Mr. Beckett?

1216
01:29:25,879 --> 01:29:28,959
No. I could use some water, though.

1217
01:29:28,959 --> 01:29:32,359
John, would you
bring Mr. Beckett some water?

1218
01:29:36,159 --> 01:29:38,879
While you were employed at Wyant,
Wheeler you did everything you could...

1219
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:43,879
to make sure no one knew
that you were an active homosexual.

1220
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:44,959
Correct?

1221
01:29:45,079 --> 01:29:47,199
No.

1222
01:29:47,199 --> 01:29:49,679
That's not correct.
I never lied about it.

1223
01:29:57,279 --> 01:29:59,079
As a homosexual...

1224
01:29:59,079 --> 01:30:04,399
one is often forced to conceal
one's sexuality.

1225
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:06,479
Isn't that right?

1226
01:30:07,399 --> 01:30:08,799
In some circumstances, yes.

1227
01:30:08,999 --> 01:30:12,479
Isn't it true you've spent your life
pretending to be something you're not...

1228
01:30:12,480 --> 01:30:17,279
so much so that the art
of concealment and dishonesty...

1229
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:20,199
- has become second nature...
- Your Honor, I object!

1230
01:30:20,199 --> 01:30:21,679
I'll withdraw it,
Your Honor.

1231
01:30:22,879 --> 01:30:26,279
Mr. Beckett, were you living with...

1232
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:28,199
Miguel Alvarez...

1233
01:30:28,199 --> 01:30:32,079
in 1984 or '85
when you had your...

1234
01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:37,799
anonymous sexual encounter
in the porn theater?

1235
01:30:38,879 --> 01:30:41,079
Yes.

1236
01:30:41,999 --> 01:30:45,599
So you could have infected him,
isn't that right?

1237
01:30:45,599 --> 01:30:48,399
Miguel has not been infected.

1238
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:50,119
You didn't answer my question.

1239
01:30:50,119 --> 01:30:54,319
You could have infected Mr. Alvarez
at that time. Is that correct?

1240
01:30:58,399 --> 01:31:00,199
Yes.

1241
01:31:00,319 --> 01:31:02,799
You've testified that
the lesions on your face...

1242
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:06,199
were visible to the people
that you worked with, correct?

1243
01:31:07,319 --> 01:31:08,719
That's right.

1244
01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:13,119
And you contend that when the partners
were made aware of the lesions...

1245
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:17,119
that they leapt to the conclusion
that you had AIDS and fired you.

1246
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:18,199
Is that correct?

1247
01:31:20,599 --> 01:31:22,599
As painful as it is...

1248
01:31:24,519 --> 01:31:27,519
to accuse my former colleagues...

1249
01:31:27,519 --> 01:31:31,199
of such reprehensible behavior...

1250
01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:34,799
it is the only conclusion
I could come to.

1251
01:31:34,799 --> 01:31:38,799
Do you have any lesions
on your face at this time?

1252
01:31:40,519 --> 01:31:43,199
One here...

1253
01:31:43,199 --> 01:31:45,199
right by my ear.

1254
01:31:47,999 --> 01:31:50,119
Your Honor,
may I approach the witness?

1255
01:31:50,119 --> 01:31:51,639
Yes, you may.

1256
01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:05,719
Remembering that
you're under oath...

1257
01:32:05,719 --> 01:32:08,039
answering truthfully...

1258
01:32:08,039 --> 01:32:12,039
can you see the lesions
on your face in this mirror...

1259
01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:13,519
from three feet away?

1260
01:32:13,519 --> 01:32:15,439
Answering truthfully.

1261
01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:26,919
Well, l...
At the time I was fired...

1262
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:30,119
I had four lesions,
and they were much bigger.

1263
01:32:30,119 --> 01:32:32,439
Could you answer
the question, please?

1264
01:32:36,839 --> 01:32:40,319
Well, no.
No, I can't really see it.

1265
01:32:44,119 --> 01:32:46,039
No more questions, Your Honor.

1266
01:32:48,119 --> 01:32:51,359
This would be a good time
to break for today.

1267
01:32:51,359 --> 01:32:54,839
- We can reconvene in the morning.
- I hate this case.

1268
01:32:54,840 --> 01:32:58,239
Your Honor, may I have
five minutes in redirect?

1269
01:32:59,159 --> 01:33:02,959
Mr. Beckett, can you go on
for five minutes?

1270
01:33:02,960 --> 01:33:04,239
- Three minutes.
- Yes.

1271
01:33:05,639 --> 01:33:07,559
May I borrow your mirror, please?

1272
01:33:14,759 --> 01:33:18,959
Do you have any lesions on any part
of your body at this time...

1273
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:21,839
that resemble the lesions
you had on your face...

1274
01:33:21,959 --> 01:33:23,839
at the time that you were fired?

1275
01:33:23,839 --> 01:33:28,039
Yes. On my torso.

1276
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:30,759
Your torso.
If it please the court...

1277
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:33,559
I would like to ask Andrew
to remove his shirt...

1278
01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:37,639
so that everyone could get an accurate
idea of what we're talking about.

1279
01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:38,439
Objection.

1280
01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:42,039
Your Honor, it would
unfairly influence the jury.

1281
01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:46,359
Your Honor, if Andrew was forced to use
a wheelchair due to his illness...

1282
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:48,759
would the defense ask him
to park it outside...

1283
01:33:48,759 --> 01:33:50,759
because it would
unfairly influence the jury?

1284
01:33:50,879 --> 01:33:54,959
We're talking about AIDS, about lesions.
Let's see what we're talking about.

1285
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:57,559
I'll allow it.

1286
01:33:57,559 --> 01:34:00,679
Mr. Beckett, would you please
remove your shirt?

1287
01:34:11,359 --> 01:34:14,879
My God, what a nightmare!

1288
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:16,679
He asked for it.

1289
01:34:59,279 --> 01:35:03,199
Can you see the lesions
on your chest in this mirror?

1290
01:35:03,199 --> 01:35:04,599
Yes.

1291
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:07,879
Thank you.

1292
01:35:17,399 --> 01:35:20,879
Do you swear to tell the whole truth,
so help you God?

1293
01:35:20,879 --> 01:35:22,279
I do.

1294
01:35:22,279 --> 01:35:24,199
Please be seated.

1295
01:35:32,877 --> 01:35:37,396
Mr. Wheeler, were you aware
that Andrew Beckett...

1296
01:35:37,397 --> 01:35:42,075
was suffering from AIDS at the time
of his departure from Wyant, Wheeler?

1297
01:35:42,076 --> 01:35:45,394
- No.
- For absolute clarity...

1298
01:35:45,395 --> 01:35:48,473
did you fire Andrew Beckett...

1299
01:35:48,473 --> 01:35:50,673
because he had AIDS?

1300
01:35:50,673 --> 01:35:55,791
No, I did not fire Andrew Beckett
because he had AIDS.

1301
01:35:55,792 --> 01:36:00,710
Mr. Wheeler, can you explain,
in a way that leaves no doubt...

1302
01:36:00,711 --> 01:36:02,110
why you promoted...

1303
01:36:02,110 --> 01:36:04,709
Andrew Beckett through your firm?

1304
01:36:04,709 --> 01:36:08,908
And then, most importantly...

1305
01:36:08,909 --> 01:36:12,187
why you eventually
asked him to leave?

1306
01:36:14,387 --> 01:36:17,706
If you're the owner
of a major league ball club...

1307
01:36:17,706 --> 01:36:20,785
you recruit the hot rookie.

1308
01:36:20,786 --> 01:36:26,504
And Andy was tremendously promising
as a young attorney.

1309
01:36:26,505 --> 01:36:30,383
Fresh out of Penn.
Crackerjack.

1310
01:36:30,384 --> 01:36:32,503
That's why we went after him.
That's why we hired him.

1311
01:36:32,503 --> 01:36:37,101
And that's why we stuck with him
year after year.

1312
01:36:38,381 --> 01:36:40,381
Why did you give him...

1313
01:36:40,381 --> 01:36:43,100
opportunity after opportunity?

1314
01:36:43,100 --> 01:36:46,579
Well, when you groom someone...

1315
01:36:46,580 --> 01:36:50,578
the way we groomed Andy,
nurturing him...

1316
01:36:50,578 --> 01:36:55,497
lavishing all kinds of
special treatment on him...

1317
01:36:55,498 --> 01:36:57,616
you make quite an investment.

1318
01:36:57,616 --> 01:37:02,095
We were waiting for the promise
to kick in and deliver.

1319
01:37:02,096 --> 01:37:04,895
But ultimately
we could no longer...

1320
01:37:04,896 --> 01:37:09,894
ignore the gap between
the reality and the promise.

1321
01:37:16,212 --> 01:37:18,092
Thank you, Mr. Wheeler.

1322
01:37:20,811 --> 01:37:23,010
No more questions
at this time, Your Honor.

1323
01:37:23,010 --> 01:37:25,010
Mr. Miller?

1324
01:37:27,009 --> 01:37:27,889
Objection!

1325
01:37:27,889 --> 01:37:31,008
- Your Honor, objection.
- All right, Mr. Miller.

1326
01:37:31,009 --> 01:37:35,407
- That'll be sufficient.
- Mr. Wheeler, you are magnificent.

1327
01:37:35,408 --> 01:37:37,807
You are my hero.

1328
01:37:37,808 --> 01:37:41,606
Andrew is right.
You are the greatest.

1329
01:37:41,606 --> 01:37:43,006
Are you gay?

1330
01:37:44,405 --> 01:37:46,805
Objection.

1331
01:37:48,484 --> 01:37:49,884
How dare you!

1332
01:37:49,884 --> 01:37:52,883
Witness will kindly answer.

1333
01:37:55,723 --> 01:37:59,122
No, I am not a homosexual.

1334
01:37:59,123 --> 01:38:01,401
Isn't it true that
when you realized...

1335
01:38:01,401 --> 01:38:04,720
Andrew Beckett... your golden boy,
your future senior partner...

1336
01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:06,720
was gay and had AIDS...

1337
01:38:06,721 --> 01:38:10,919
it drove a stake of fear
right through your heterosexual heart?

1338
01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:12,319
Remembering...

1339
01:38:12,319 --> 01:38:16,118
all the hugs and handshakes,
the intimate moments in the sauna...

1340
01:38:16,119 --> 01:38:19,197
the friendly pats on the backside
that you and Andrew exchanged...

1341
01:38:19,198 --> 01:38:20,397
like guys exchange.

1342
01:38:20,398 --> 01:38:24,996
It made you say, "My God!

1343
01:38:24,997 --> 01:38:26,595
What does this say about me?"

1344
01:38:26,595 --> 01:38:28,595
Objection, Your Honor.

1345
01:38:31,194 --> 01:38:34,113
The witness will please
respond to the question.

1346
01:38:35,913 --> 01:38:38,512
You may tap dance around me
all you wish...

1347
01:38:38,513 --> 01:38:42,111
with your innuendoes
and locker room fantasies.

1348
01:38:42,111 --> 01:38:45,591
But the truth still remains
that your client...

1349
01:38:45,592 --> 01:38:47,790
worked when he wanted to work...

1350
01:38:47,791 --> 01:38:52,309
telling us what he thought we needed
to know about who he really was.

1351
01:38:52,310 --> 01:38:54,708
Andy insisted on bending the rules...

1352
01:38:54,708 --> 01:38:59,507
and his work suffered tremendously
in the long run as a result of that.

1353
01:38:59,508 --> 01:39:03,826
Explain this like I'm a six-year-old,
'cause I just don't get it.

1354
01:39:03,827 --> 01:39:07,825
Who makes these rules that
you're talking about? You?

1355
01:39:07,825 --> 01:39:13,024
Read your Bible, Mr. Miller,
Old and New Testament.

1356
01:39:13,025 --> 01:39:15,223
Pretty valuable rules in there.

1357
01:39:15,223 --> 01:39:17,223
Excuse me.

1358
01:39:20,302 --> 01:39:22,502
Excuse... I can't...

1359
01:39:26,821 --> 01:39:28,500
Excuse me!

1360
01:39:28,501 --> 01:39:30,500
Christ's sakes, somebody get a doctor!

1361
01:39:32,219 --> 01:39:35,419
What is it?
Turn over now.

1362
01:39:35,419 --> 01:39:38,618
- Call an ambulance, please?
- Right away.

1363
01:39:38,618 --> 01:39:41,817
An ambulance, please!
Let him breathe.

1364
01:39:41,818 --> 01:39:44,496
Please make room for him.

1365
01:39:47,496 --> 01:39:49,695
It's not working.

1366
01:39:49,695 --> 01:39:51,415
- Please, sir!
- It's not working!

1367
01:39:51,416 --> 01:39:54,014
- They know how to save him.
- It is making him worse!

1368
01:39:57,133 --> 01:40:01,132
Did you notice any changes
whatsoever in Andrew's appearance...

1369
01:40:01,133 --> 01:40:04,332
over the course of the year
leading up to his termination?

1370
01:40:05,131 --> 01:40:08,011
Yes. I did.

1371
01:40:08,011 --> 01:40:11,010
Were these changes for the better
or for the worse?

1372
01:40:11,010 --> 01:40:15,329
Sometimes for the better,
but generally they were for the worse.

1373
01:40:15,330 --> 01:40:19,608
Mr. Seidman, what did you think caused
these changes in Andy's appearance?

1374
01:40:21,328 --> 01:40:23,807
I was afraid.

1375
01:40:25,327 --> 01:40:27,526
I suspected Andy had AIDS.

1376
01:40:28,726 --> 01:40:31,925
- Order.
- Thank you. Your witness.

1377
01:40:31,926 --> 01:40:34,604
- Miss Conine?
- Mr. Seidman...

1378
01:40:34,605 --> 01:40:37,804
did you share your suspicions
with Mr. Wheeler...

1379
01:40:37,805 --> 01:40:41,723
or any of the other managing partners
at any time...

1380
01:40:41,724 --> 01:40:44,922
before the decision
to fire Andrew Beckett was made?

1381
01:40:44,922 --> 01:40:47,201
No. I didn't.

1382
01:40:47,201 --> 01:40:49,521
I didn't mention it to anyone...

1383
01:40:49,521 --> 01:40:51,400
not even Andy.

1384
01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:53,840
I didn't even give him a chance
to talk about it.

1385
01:40:56,519 --> 01:40:59,318
And I think
I'm going to regret that...

1386
01:40:59,319 --> 01:41:01,518
for as long as I live.

1387
01:41:01,518 --> 01:41:04,717
- Any more questions, Miss Conine?
- That's all, Your Honor.

1388
01:41:04,717 --> 01:41:09,516
<i>They are sayin'he wasn't
a good lawyer. He was mediocre. </i>

1389
01:41:09,517 --> 01:41:14,435
And the fact that they gave him the most
important lawsuit they ever had...

1390
01:41:14,436 --> 01:41:16,434
for one of their most
important clients...

1391
01:41:16,435 --> 01:41:21,033
They say that doesn't prove anything
because that was just a test.

1392
01:41:21,034 --> 01:41:24,033
- What'd they call it? A carrot?
- Yeah. "What's up, Doc?"

1393
01:41:24,034 --> 01:41:28,112
To see if he'd rise to the occasion.
Okay.

1394
01:41:28,113 --> 01:41:31,031
Say I gotta send a pilot
into enemy territory...

1395
01:41:31,032 --> 01:41:34,110
and he's gonna be flyin' a plane
that costs $350 million.

1396
01:41:35,510 --> 01:41:38,109
Who am I gonna put in that plane?

1397
01:41:38,109 --> 01:41:43,228
Some rookie who can't cut it so
I can see if he is up to the challenge?

1398
01:41:43,229 --> 01:41:47,227
Or am I gonna give that assignment
to my best pilot...

1399
01:41:47,228 --> 01:41:50,226
my sharpest, my most experienced,
my top gun...

1400
01:41:50,226 --> 01:41:52,706
the very best I got?

1401
01:41:52,707 --> 01:41:55,145
I just don't get that.

1402
01:41:55,705 --> 01:41:58,344
Would somebody please
explain it to me...

1403
01:41:59,824 --> 01:42:01,823
like I'm a six-year-old?

1404
01:42:03,423 --> 01:42:06,222
<i>- Juror number six?

1405

- I agree.
- Juror number 12?

1410
01:42:21,539 --> 01:42:23,738
Agree.

1411
01:42:23,738 --> 01:42:25,618
Have you awarded any damages?

1412
01:42:26,617 --> 01:42:29,017
Yes, Your Honor, we have.

1413
01:42:29,017 --> 01:42:34,536
For back pay and loss of benefits
we award $143,000.

1414
01:42:34,537 --> 01:42:39,015
For mental anguish and humiliation
we award $100,000.

1415
01:42:39,016 --> 01:42:43,014
And for punitive damages
we award $4, 782,000.

1416
01:42:48,132 --> 01:42:50,332
You may record the verdict.

1417
01:42:51,132 --> 01:42:54,331
Everyone remain seated
until the jury is removed.

1418
01:42:54,331 --> 01:42:56,450
How could they do that?

1419
01:42:59,929 --> 01:43:02,329
This trial is now concluded.

1420
01:43:06,448 --> 01:43:08,048
Congratulations!

1421
01:43:09,047 --> 01:43:11,727
We'll strain ourselves
getting a reversal on this one.

1422
01:43:11,727 --> 01:43:14,126
- We'll get started in the morning.
- Well, that's that.

1423
01:43:14,126 --> 01:43:18,125
Congratulations, Mr. Miller.
I'll see you at the appeal.

1424
01:43:18,126 --> 01:43:20,045
Congratulations.
Well done.

1425
01:43:22,644 --> 01:43:26,043
Oh, man.
Thanks a lot.

1426
01:43:26,044 --> 01:43:28,243
- I'll see ya at the hospital.
- Okay.

1427
01:43:35,921 --> 01:43:37,840
Oh, Mr. Miller.
Hi. How you doin'?

1428
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:39,720
- You know where the room is?
- Down the hall.

1429
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:42,439
- Right there.
- The one off...

1430
01:43:42,439 --> 01:43:43,719
Thanks.

1431
01:43:45,119 --> 01:43:47,838
If he leaves the hospital,
which is unlikely...

1432
01:43:47,839 --> 01:43:52,237
don't expect him to be
remotely like he was before this crisis.

1433
01:43:52,917 --> 01:43:55,636
He's lost the vision
in his right eye...

1434
01:43:55,637 --> 01:43:59,435
and because of the C. M. V.
He will not regain his vision.

1435
01:44:00,155 --> 01:44:05,154
- Next door, to the right.
- The C. M. V. Has ravaged his body.

1436
01:44:12,032 --> 01:44:13,752
Hi. Congratulations.

1437
01:44:13,832 --> 01:44:15,431

You were wonderful. Thank you so much.

1441
01:44:30,429 --> 01:44:32,347

- Yeah. I brought some...

1442
01:44:32,427 --> 01:44:36,826

chained together
at the bottom of the ocean?

1446
01:45:18,456 --> 01:45:20,456
I don't know.

1447
01:45:20,456 --> 01:45:22,655
A good start.

1448
01:45:32,133 --> 01:45:34,252
Excellent work, Counselor.

1449
01:45:36,932 --> 01:45:38,851

Yeah. Sure thing.

1454

I'll see you again.

See you.

We really appreciate it.
We'll see you again?

1461
01:47:10,469 --> 01:47:12,749
He's a fighter.

1462
01:47:12,749 --> 01:47:14,868
We just want to get him home.

1463
01:47:17,148 --> 01:47:18,547
Thank you, Joe.

1464
01:47:45,541 --> 01:47:50,140

1465
